What mass of NH3 can be made from 35.0g of N2?
formation of ammonia by nitrogen and hydrogen is habers process wher 28g N2 results in formation of 34g NH3
so 35g N2 will form 34*35/28=42.5g NH3 where it given that reaction takes place in excess of H2
N2+3H2 gives 2NH3
Answer:
\(Mass_{NH_3}= 42.5775\ g\)
Explanation:
Moles of \(N_2\):-
Mass = 35.00 g
Molar mass of \(N_2\) = 28.014 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
\(moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}\)
Thus,
\(Moles= \frac{35.00\ g}{28.014\ g/mol}\)
\(Moles_{N_2}= 1.25\ mol\)
According to the reaction:-
\(N_2_{(g)} + 3H_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2NH_3_{(g)}\)
1 mole of \(N_2\) on reaction forms 2 moles of \(NH_3\)
1.25 mole of \(N_2\) on reaction forms 2*1.25 moles of \(NH_3\)
Moles of \(NH_3\) = 2.5 moles
Molar mass of \(NH_3\) = 17.031 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
\(moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}\)
Thus,
\(2.5\ mol= \frac{Mass}{17.031\ g/mol}\)
\(Mass_{NH_3}= 42.5775\ g\)
