Question

How many moles of ammonium sulfate can be from the reaction of 30.0 mol of NH3 with H2SO4 according to the following equation: 2NH3+H2SO4=(NH4)2 SO4

Answer 1

Answer:

15 moles of  ammonium sulfate would be formed from 30 moles of ammonia.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of ammonium sulfate formed = ?

Number of moles of ammonia = 30.0 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NH₃  +   H₂SO₄  →  (NH₄)₂SO₄

Now we will compare the moles of ammonium sulfate with ammonia.

                           NH₃           :           (NH₄)₂SO₄

                             2              :               1

                            30.0          :              1/2×30.0 = 15.0 mol

So 15 moles of  ammonium sulfate would be formed from 30 moles of ammonia.
