Answer:
1.61 x 10²⁰ molecules
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the hydrogen gas = 8.01 x 10⁻⁴g
Unknown
Number of molecules of NH₃ = ?
Solution:
Given reaction:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
We have to solve from the known to the unknown
- The known specie is the mass of H₂ ;
find the number of moles of the specie;
number of moles =
Molar mass of H₂ = 2(1) = 2g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.0004mol
- 3 moles of H₂ will produce 2 moles of NH₃
0.0004 moles of H₂ will produce = 0.00027moles of NH₃
1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
0.00027mole of NH₃ will contain 0.00027 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 1.61 x 10²⁰ molecules
