For electricity to flow there must be a flow of electrons or ions present in a system or medium. When electricity is passed in pure water, oxygen does not have d-orbitals or f-orbitals through which electrons may pass. In pure water there are no electrolytic substance, so no ions present in the pure water. Therefore electricity can not pass through pure water. Additionally; water cannot dissociate into OH- and H+ when electricity is passed through pure water.

Use the equation n2 + 3h2=2nh3 if 8.0g N2 react, how many grams of NH3 will be produced
Eduardwww [97]

the balanced equation for the formation of ammonia is

N₂ + 3H₂ ---> 2NH₃

molar ratio of N₂ to NH₃ is 1:2

mass of N₂ reacted is 8.0 g

therefore number of N₂ moles reacted is - 8.0 g / 28 g/mol = 0.286 mol

according to the molar ratio,

1 mol of N₂ will react to give 2 mol of NH₃, assuming nitrogen is the limiting reactant

therefore 0.286 mol of N₂ should give - 2 x 0.286 mol = 0.572 mol of NH₃

therefore mass of NH₃ formed is - 0.572 mol x 17 g/mol = 9.72 g

a mass of 9.72 mol of NH₃ is formed
