Ammonia gas can be produced by the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen gases as shown in the following balanced equation:

Question

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

Determine the mass of ammonia that can be produced from 10.8 g of N2(g) with excess H2(g)

Answer 1

Hi Jessica,

For this, you will want to use stoichiometry to solve it.

Begin with your given amount, 10.8 g N2(g)

Convert that to moles N2(g) using the molar mass of N2

Then use the coefficients in the balanced equation to convert to moles of NH3(g) ammonia

Then finally use the molar mass of ammonia to convert to grams of ammonia NH3
