What mass of ammonia can be produced if 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacted ?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Step 3: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.479 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

How many oxygen atoms are in 2(NO3)
torisob [31]

6 Oxygen atoms

Explanation:

In the molecule 2(NO₃):

An atom is the smallest indivisible particle of any substance. They chemically combine to give compounds and molecules. Some of them are able to exist on their own.

An element is a substance that has a unique atom.

      NO₃ has two elements: N   and O

      Number of atoms:

    N = 1

    O = 3

but we have two moles of NO₃

 O = 3 x 2 = 6

 N = 1 x 2 = 2

What mass of sucrose needs to be dissolved in 540 g of water in order to prepare a 15% by mass solution.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

95.3g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water  = 540g

Percentage by mass of solution = 15%

Unknown:

Mass of sucrose = ?

Solution;

To solve this problem, we must understand that a solution is made up of solute dissolved in a solvent. A solute is the solid dissolved in another. The solvent is the is dissolving medium;

    Percentage by mass of solute in solution = \frac{Mass of solute}{Mass of solution}  x 100

Mass of solution  = mass of water + Mass of sucrose  = 540 + M

  where M is the mass of sucrose;

therefore;

                 \frac{M}{540 + M }  x 100   = 15

   Solving for M gives 95.3g

Mass of sucrose is 95.3g
