Question

The chemical equation below represents the formation of ammonia.

N2 + 3 H2 --> 2 NH3

How many grams of ammonia are produced when 1.0 mole of nitrogen reacts?

Answer 1

Mass of ammonia produced= 34 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ammonia produced = ?

Number of moles of nitrogen = 1.0 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and nitrogen.

N₂ : NH₃

1 : 2

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 2 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 34 g
