Question

How many moles of ammonium sulfate can be from the reaction of 30.0 mol of NH3 with H2SO4 according to the following equation: 2NH3+H2SO4=(NH4)2 SO4

Answer 1

15 moles of ammonium sulfate would be formed from 30 moles of ammonia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of ammonium sulfate formed = ?

Number of moles of ammonia = 30.0 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NH₃ + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄

Now we will compare the moles of ammonium sulfate with ammonia.

NH₃ : (NH₄)₂SO₄

2 : 1

30.0 : 1/2×30.0 = 15.0 mol

So 15 moles of ammonium sulfate would be formed from 30 moles of ammonia.
