Answer:
Mass = 61.6 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of ammonia produced = 75.0 g
Mass of nitrogen needed = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
Number of moles of ammonia:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 75 g/ 17 g/mol
Number of moles = 4.4 mol
No we will compare the moles of ammonia with nitrogen.
NH₃ : N₂
2 : 1
4.4 : 1/2×4.4 =2.2 mol
Mass of N₂:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 2.2 mol × 28 g/mol
Mass = 61.6 g
