Hey there!

5 moles will be produced.

N₂ has a molar mass of 28.014 g/mol.

Convert 70g to mol:

70 ÷ 28.014 = 2.5

In N₂ there are 2 nitrogen atoms. In NH₃ there is 1 nitrogen atom.

So, there will be twice as many moles of NH₃ because every one molecule of N₂ will produce two molecules of NH₃.

2.5 x 2 = 5 moles

Hope this helps!
