Question

According to the following reaction, how many moles of ammonia will be formed upon the complete reaction of 31.2 grams of nitrogen gas with excess hydrogen gas ? nitrogen(g) + hydrogen(g) ammonia(g)

Answer 1

4.46 mol of NH3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of he reaction is given as;

2N + 3H2 --> 2NH3

From the stochiometry of the reaction, 1 mol of Nitrogen produces 2 mol of Ammonia.

Mass of Nitrogen = 31.2g

Molar mass of Nitrogen = 14g/mol

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 31.2 / 14 = 2.23 mol

Since 1 mol of N = 2 mol of NH3;

2.23 mol of N2 would produce x

x = 2.23 * 2 = 4.46 mol of NH3
