Question

How many moles of ammonium nitrate will be produced 110.0g of ammonium carbonate

Answer 1

Answer:

                     2.288 Moles of NH₄NO₃

Explanation:

The Balance chemical equation is as follow:

                  (NH₄)₂CO₃ + 2 HNO₃  →  2 NH₄NO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

To solve this problem we will do following steps:

Finding moles of Ammonium Carbonate:

As we know,

                        Moles  =  Mass / M.Mass

So,

                        Moles  =  110 g  /  96.08 g/mol

                        Moles  =  1.144 moles

Calculating moles of Ammonium Nitrate:

According to balance chemical equation;

                      1 mole of (NH₄)₂CO₃ produces  =  2 moles of NH₄NO₃

So,

          1.144 moles of (NH₄)₂CO₃ will produce  =  X moles of NH₄NO₃

Solving for X,

                     X =  2 moles × 1.144 moles ÷ 1 mole

                     X  =  2.288 moles of NH₄NO₃
