Question

19 molecules of nitrogen gas would make a maximum of how many molecules of ammonia?

a) 19
b) 38
c) 57
d) 76

Answer 1

Using the balanced chemical equation N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, 19 molecules of nitrogen gas can produce a maximum of 38 molecules of ammonia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the production of ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen gas (N2) using the balanced chemical equation N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3. According to this equation, one molecule of nitrogen gas can produce a maximum of two molecules of ammonia. Since we have 19 molecules of nitrogen gas, we can produce a maximum of 38 molecules of ammonia (19 molecules of N2 multiplied by 2).
