Answer:

6.6 L ( if you wrote your Q correctly)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Al + 1 N2 = 2 Al N

Al mole weight = 26.981 gm

given 15.9 Al How many L of N2 are needed?

15.9 / 26.981 = .5893 moles of Al

we need 1/2 as many moles of N2 ( from the balanced equation above)

= .29465 moles of N2

22.4 L/ mole for STP gas = 6.6 L
