Answer:
a) HNO3
b) 26.8g (3 s.f.)
c) 1.29g (3 s.f.)
Please see the attached pictures for full solution.
To balance an equation, ensure that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides.
To get the theoretical yield of ammonia NH3:
first, we should have the balanced equation of the reaction:
3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)
Second, we start to convert mass to moles
moles of N2 = N2 mass / N2 molar mass
= 200 / 28 = 7.14 moles
third, we start to compare the molar ratio from the balanced equation between N2 & NH3 we will find that N2: NH3 = 1:2 so when we use every mole of N2 we will get 2 times of that mole of NH3 so,
moles of NH3 = 7.14 * 2 = 14.28 moles
finally, we convert the moles of NH3 to mass again to get the mass of ammonia:
mass of NH3 = no.moles * molar mass of ammonia
= 14.28 * 17 = 242.76 g
