Question

In a reaction, 24.9 L of N2 reacts with excess Hy to produce NH3. How many liters of NH3

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 49.8L of NH3.

B. 33.83g.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

A. From the balanced equation above,

1L of N2 produced 2L of NH3.

Therefore, 24.9L of N2 will produce = 24.9 x 2 = 49.8L of NH3.

Therefore, 49.8L of NH3 is produced from the reaction.

B. Determination of the mass NH3 produced.

First, we shall determine the number of mole of NH3 produced. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume (V) = 49.8L

Pressure (P) = 97.8 kPa = 97.8/101.325 = 0.97atm

Temperature (T) = 23.7°C = 23.7°C + 273 = 296.7K

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =...?

PV = nRT

n = PV /RT

n = (0.97 x 49.8) / (0.082 x 296.3)

n = 1.99 mole

Next, we shall convert 1.99 mole to NH3 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Number of mole NH3 = 1.99 mole

Molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17g/mol

Mass of NH3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar Mass

Mass of NH3 = 1.99 x 17

Mass of NH3 = 33.83g

Therefore, 33.83g of NH3 is produced.
