Question

If you have 101 g of hydrogen gas (H2) and excess amount of nitrogen gas (N2), how many grams of ammonia gas (NH3) can you make?

Answer 1

572.33g of NH3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

Next, we shall determine the mass of the H2 that reacted and the mass of NH3 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of H2 = 2x1 = 2g/mol

Mass of H2 from the balanced equation = 3 x 2 = 6g

Molar Mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17g/mol

Mass of NH3 from the balanced equation = 2 x 17 = 34g.

From the balanced equation above,

6g of H2 reacted to produce 34g of NH3.

Finally, we can determine the mass of ammonia (NH3) produced by reacting 101g of H2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

6g of H2 reacted to produce 34g of NH3.

Therefore, 101g of H2 will react to produce = ( 101 x 34) / 6 = 572.33g of NH3.

Therefore, 572.33g of NH3 is produced from the reaction.

Answer 2

572. 3 g of NH3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the reaction: 3H2 + N2 ----> 2NH3

From the equation of reaction, 3 moles of H2 reacts with 1 mole of N2 to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Since N2 is in excess in the given reaction, H2 is the limiting reactant.

Molar mass of H2 = 2 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17 g/mol

Therefore 3 * 2 g of H2 reacts to produce 2 * 17 g of NH3

6 g of H2 produces 34 g of NH3

101 g of H2 will produce (34 * 101)/6 g of NH3 = 572.3 g of NH3

Therefore, 572.3 g of NH3 are produced
