Why is only one molecule of N2 needed to produce 2 molecules of NH3?

6 0

It's d, here's why.
Stoichiometry: N2 + H2 (for instance) --> NH3
There are 2 Nitrogen atoms (or parts) of Nitrogen on the left side of the equation, and 2 Hydrogen, and only one Nitrogen but three Hydrogen on the other side. Where did the extra Nitrogen go? Where did that Hydrogen come from? The answer is Stoichiometry.
N2 + H2 --> NH3 has to be balanced, so we add coefficients to the reactants and products, which indicate in what ratio they are consumed in the reaction. They effectively multiply the subscripts on the elements.
To balance Nitrogen, we have to add a 2 to the front of NH3, so we get 2NH3. Nitrogen is balanced, but Hydrogen isn't. There are now 6 Hydrogen being produced by the reaction, so we can add a 3 to the products side, making 3H2.
Now we have N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3, and everything is balanced.

A student has two solutions of a substance. Solution-1: 25M, 400mL, and Solution-2: 30M, 300 ml. What is the molarity of the fin

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The molarity of the final solutions if these two solutions are mixed is 27.14 $\frac{moles}{L}$

Explanation:

Yo know:

Solution-1: 25M, 400mL
Solution-2: 30M, 300 mL

Molarity being the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, expressed by:

$Molarity (M)= \frac{number of moles}{volume}$

You can determine the number of moles that are mixed from each solution as:

Number of moles= Molarity*Volume

So, being 1 L=1000 mL, for each solution you get:

Solution-1: being 0.400 L=400 mL ⇒ 25 M* 0.400 L= 10 moles
Solution-2: being 0.300 L=300 mL ⇒ 30 M* 0.300 L= 9 moles

When mixing both solutions, it is obtained that the volume is the sum of both solutions:

Total volume= volume solution-1 + volume solution-2

and the number of total moles will be the sum of the moles of solution-1 and solution-2:

Total moles= moles of solution-1 + moles of solution-2

So the molarity of the final solution is:

$Molarity (M)= \frac{moles of solution 1 + moles of solution 2}{Volume solution 1 + Volume solution 2}$

In this case, you have:

moles of solution-1: 10 moles
moles of solution-2: 9 moles
volume solution-1: 0.400 L
volume solution-2: 0.300 L

Replacing:

$Molarity (M)=\frac{10 moles + 9 moles}{0.400 L + 0.300 L}$

Solving:

$Molarity (M)=\frac{19 moles}{0.700 L}$

Molarity= 27.14 $\frac{moles}{L}$

The molarity of the final solutions if these two solutions are mixed is 27.14 $\frac{moles}{L}$
