Question

N2 reacts with hydrogen gas according to the following equation:

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass = 51 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of nitrogen = 41.93 g

Mass of ammonia formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂      →       2NH₃

Number of moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 41.93 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.5 mol

now we will compare the moles of nitrogen and ammonia.

                N₂          :           NH₃

                  1          :           2

                1.5         :         2/1×1.5 = 3 mol

Mass of ammonia formed:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 51 g
