Explanation / Answer

Hydrogen gas, H2, reacts with nitrogen gas, N2, to form ammonia gas, NH3, according to the equation

3H2(g)+N2(g)2NH3(g)

Part A

How many moles of NH3 can be produced from 18.0 mol of H2 and excess N2?

Express your answer numerically in moles.

if H2 is limiting reaction, the

ratio of H2 and NH3 is given by

3 mol of H2 = 2 mol of NH3

18 mol of H2 = x mol fo NH3

x = 18*2/3 = 12 mol of NH3

moles of NH3 possible = 12 mol

Part B

How many grams of NH3 can be produced from 2.88 mol of N2 and excess H2.

Express your answer numerically in grams.

1 mol of N2 = 2 mol of NH3

2.88 mol of N2 = x mo of NH3

x = 2*2.88 = 5.76 mol of NH3

1 mol fo NH3 = 17 g/mol

5.76 mol --> 17*5.76 = 97.92 g of NH3 can be produced

Part C

How many grams of H2 are needed to produce 13.26 g of NH3?

3 mol of H2 = 2 mol of NH3

6 g of H2 = 34 g of NH3

x g of H2 = 13.26 g of NH3

x = 13.26/34*6

x = 2.34 g of H2 will be required

Part D

How many molecules (not moles) of NH3 are produced from 1.22×104 g of H2?

6 g of H2 = 34 g of NH3

1.22*10^-4 g of H2 = x g of NH3

x = (1.22*10^-4)/6*34 = 0.0006913 g of NH3

mol of NH3 = mass/MW = 0.0006913/17 = 0.000040664 mol

1 mol = 6.022*10^23 molecules

molecules = 0.000040664*6.022*10^23 = 2.44878*10^22 molecules
