A polyatomic ion.
Examples: Sulfate, Sulfite, Nitrate, Nitrite...
Answer:
7.03 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced synthesis reaction
N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇒ 2 NH₃(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 32.5 g of N₂
The molar mass of N₂ is 28.01 g/mol.
32.5 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 1.16 mol
Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of H₂ needed to react with 1.16 moles of N₂
The molar ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3. The moles of H₂ needed are 3/1 × 1.16 mol = 3.48 mol.
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 3.48 moles of H₂
The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.
3.48 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 7.03 g
breaking bonds in reactants and forming new bonds in products. Breaking bonds requires energy, and forming bonds releases energy.
