Question

If you start with 6 mol of nitrogen gas (N2+) what mass (g) of ammonia (NH4) will be produced?

Answer 1

Answer:

204g of NH3

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

Next, we shall determine the number of mole NH3 produced by reacting 6moles of N2. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Therefore, 6 moles of N2 will react to produce = 6 x 2 = 12 moles of NH3.

Finally, we shall convert 12 moles of NH3 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Number of mole of NH3 = 12 moles.

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

Mass of NH3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of NH3 = 12 x 17

Mass of NH3 = 204g.

Therefore, 204g of NH3 will be produced from the reaction.
