Question

How many grams of H, are needed to react with 2.75 g of N,?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6 grams of hydrogen are needed to react with 2.75 g of nitrogen.

Explanation:

When hydrogen and nitrogen react they form ammonia.

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Given mass of nitrogen = 2.75 g

Number of moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.75 g / 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.098 mol

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen with hydrogen from balance chemical equation:

                   N₂             :          H₂

                    1               :           3

                   0.098       :        3×0.098 = 0.3 mol

Mass of hydrogen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.3 mol × 2 g/mol

Mass = 0.6 g
