SN1 is a substitution reaction with n being the nucleophilic substitution an 1 represents a unimolecular reaction. Because the given molecule on the central carbon is sterically hindered, the rate of carbocation formation is increased dramatically. It will make the OT (leaving group) to leave and a nucleophile (nucleophilic attack) will react to the carbocation.

How many molecules (not moles of nh3 are produced from 5.01×10?4 g of h2?

Irina-Kira [14]

2,02g ------- 6,02×10²³
5,01×10⁴g --- x

$x=\frac{5,01*10^{4}g*6,02*10^{23}}{2,02g}=14,93*10^{27}$

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃
1mol : 3mol : 2mol
18,06×10²³ : 12,04×10²³
14,93×10²⁷ : y

$y=\frac{14,93*10^{27}*12,04*10^{23}}{18,06*10^{23}}\approx9,95*10^{27}$
