Answer:

51.5 L of ammonia

Explanation:

Ammonia is produced according to this equation:

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃ (g)

Let's propose this rule of three:

3 moles of hydrogen can produce 2 moles of ammonia

Then 3.45 moles of hydrogen, will produce (3.45 . 2) / 3 = 2.3 moles of NH₃

We apply the Ideal Gases Law at STP to determine the volume

STP = 1 atm and 273K

1 atm . V = 2.3 mol . 0.082 . 273K

V = (2.3 mol . 0.082 . 273K) / 1 atm = 51.5 L
