Question

How many moles of ammonium nitrate will be produced 110.0g of ammonium carbonate

Answer 1

2.288 Moles of NH₄NO₃

Step-by-step explanation:

The Balance chemical equation is as follow:

(NH₄)₂CO₃ + 2 HNO₃ → 2 NH₄NO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

To solve this problem we will do following steps:

Finding moles of Ammonium Carbonate:

As we know,

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

So,

Moles = 110 g / 96.08 g/mol

Moles = 1.144 moles

Calculating moles of Ammonium Nitrate:

According to balance chemical equation;

1 mole of (NH₄)₂CO₃ produces = 2 moles of NH₄NO₃

So,

1.144 moles of (NH₄)₂CO₃ will produce = X moles of NH₄NO₃

Solving for X,

X = 2 moles × 1.144 moles ÷ 1 mole

X = 2.288 moles of NH₄NO₃
