Question

What are the products when ammonia (NH3) decomposes according to this equation? NH3

Answer 1

Answer : The products formed on the decomposition of ammonia are, hydrogen gas $(H_2)$ and nitrogen gas $(N_2)$.

Explanation :

Decomposition reaction : It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the larger molecules decomposes to give two or more smaller molecules.

When the ammonia $(NH_3)$ decomposes then it gives hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2NH_3\rightarrow 3H_2+N_2$

In this reaction, $NH_3$ is the reactant and $H_2$ and $N_2$ are the products.

By the stoichiometry we can say that 2 moles of ammonia decomposes to give 3 moles of hydrogen gas and 1 mole of nitrogen gas as a product.

Therefore, the products formed on the decomposition of ammonia are, hydrogen gas $(H_2)$ and nitrogen gas $(N_2)$.

Answer 2

Ammonia is the combination of Nitrogen and Hydrogen. also is N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3.
Hope this helps! :D
