Question

A. 20 moles of NH3 are needed to produce how many moles of H2O?

Answer 1

a. 30 moles of H₂O

b. 2.33 moles of N₂

Further explanation

Given

a. 20 moles of NH₃

b. 3.5 moles of O₂

Required

a. moles of H₂O

b. moles of N₂

Solution

Reaction

4NH₃+3O₂⇒2N₂+6H₂O

a. From the equation, mol ratio NH₃ : H₂O = 4 : 6, so mol H₂O :

=6/4 x mol NH₃

= 6/4 x 20 moles

= 30 moles

b. From the equation, mol ratio N₂ : O₂ = 2 : 3, so mol N₂ :

=2/3 x mol O₂

= 2/3 x 3.5 moles

= 2.33 moles
