In the following chemical reaction, how many moles of N2 are needed to completely react with 3 moles of H2? N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3
2 answers:
Answer: a) 1
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
According to stoichiometry :
3 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to give 2 moles of ammonia.
Thus 1 mole of hydrogen are needed to completely react with 3 moles of nitrogen.

Answer:
- The molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution is 0.0219 M
Explanation:
<u>1) Chemical reaction.</u>
a) Kind of reaction: neutralization
b) General form: acid + base → salt + water
c) Word equation:
- sodium hydroxide + oxalic acid → sodium oxalate + water
d) Chemical equation:
- NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + H₂O
b) Balanced chemical equation:
- 2NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + 2H₂O
<u>2) Mole ratio</u>
- 2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄ :1 mol Na₂C₂O₄ : 2 mol H₂O
<u>3) Starting amount of oxalic acid</u>
- mass = 28 mg = 0.028 g
- molar mass = 90.03 g/mol
- Convert mass in grams to number of moles, n:
n = mass in grams / molar mass = 0.028 g / 90.03 g/mol = 0.000311 mol
<u>4) Titration</u>
- Volume of base: 28.4 mL = 0.0248 liter
- Concentration of base: x (unknwon)
- Number of moles of acid: 2.52 mol (calculated above)
- Proportion using the theoretical mole ratio (2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄)
That means that there are 0.000622 moles of NaOH (solute)
<u>5) Molarity of NaOH solution</u>
- M = n / V (liter) = 0.000622 mol / 0.0284 liter = 0.0219 M
That is the correct number using <em>three signficant figures</em>, such as the starting data are reported.
