What mass of ammonia is formed when 5.36 g of nitrogen gas reacts with excess hydrogen gas?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) gas is: N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3. The molar mass of N2 is 28.02 g/mol, and the molar mass of NH3 is 17.03 g/mol. Given 5.36 g of N2, first, calculate moles of N2: moles of N2 = 5.36 g / 28.02 g/mol = 0.191 mol. From the stoichiometry of the reaction, 1 mole of N2 produces 2 moles of NH3. Therefore, 0.191 mol of N2 will produce 0.382 mol of NH3. Finally, calculate the mass of NH3 produced: mass of NH3 = 0.382 mol * 17.03 g/mol = 6.52 g.
