Question

How many grams of NH3 can be produced from 2.51 mil of N2 and excess H2 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

85.34g of NH3

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

Step 2:

Determination of the number of moles of NH3 produced by the reaction of 2.51 moles of N2. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Therefore, 2.51 moles of N2 will react to produce = (2.51 x 2)/1 = 5.02 moles of NH3.

Therefore, 5.02 moles of NH3 is produced from the reaction.

Step 3:

Conversion of 5.02 moles of NH3 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17g/mol

Number of mole of NH3 = 5.02 moles

Mass of NH3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar Mass

Mass of NH3 = 5.02 x 17

Mass of NH3 = 85.34g

Therefore, 85.34g of NH3 is produced.
