Consider the synthesis of ammonia 3 H2+ N2 à 2 NH3 If a student were to react 38.5 g of nitrogen gas, how many moles of ammonia would be produced?

Respuesta :

Neetoo

Answer:

2.75 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Nitrogen = 38.5 g

Moles of ammonia produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical  equation:

N₂ + 3H₂    →     2NH₃

Number of moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 38.5 g/ 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.375 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and nitrogen from balance chemical equation.

           N₂            :            NH₃

            1              :             2

           1.375       :           2×1.375 = 2.75 mol

Thus 2.75 moles of ammonia  are produced from 38.5 g of nitrogen.
