Question

If 3.0 moles of hydrogen react, how many grams of nitrogen will be used? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3

Answer 1

Answer:

28g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of hydrogen  = 3moles

Unknown:

Mass of nitrogen used = ?

Solution:

 To solve this problem, let us establish the balanced reaction equation first;

             N₂  + 3H₂ →  2NH₃

From the balanced reaction equation;

                 3 mole of H₂ will combine with 1 mole of N₂

                 

Now,

   Mass of Nitrogen  = number of moles x molar mass

         Molar mass of N₂  = 2(14) = 28g/mol

   Mass of Nitrogen  = 1 mole x 28g/mole  = 28g
