Question

If 25 g of NH3, and 96 g of H2S react according to the following reaction, what is the

Answer 1

25 g of NH₃ will produce 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S​

Explanation:

2 NH₃ + H₂S ----> (NH₄)₂S​

Molecular weight of NH₃ = 17 g/mol

Molecular weight of (NH₄)₂S​ = 68 g/mol

According to the balanced reaction:

2 X 17 g of NH₃ produces 68 g of (NH₄)₂S​

1 g of NH₃ will produce $\frac{68}{34}$ g of (NH₄)₂S​

25g of NH₃ will produce $\frac{65}{34} X 25 g$ of (NH₄)₂S​

                                     = 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S​

Therefore, 25 g of NH₃ will produce 47.8 g of (NH₄)₂S​
