Ammonia, NH3, undergoes reaction with oxygen to form nitrogen and water. When 7.00 x 1022 molecules of ammonia react with 6.00 x 1022 molecules of oxygen, what mass of nitrogen results (grams)

Respuesta :

Amount of nitrogen produced = 1.624 g

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:    

4NH3(g) + 3 O2 (g) ---> 2 N2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)                           ....(1)

For ammonia:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Moles of ammonia = 7.00 x 1022 / 6.023 * 10 ^23 = 0.116 mol

Moles of oxygen = 6.00 x 1022 / 6.023 * 10 ^23 = 0.099 mol

For the reaction:

4NH3(g) + 3 O2 (g) ---> 2 N2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

4 moles of ammonia combine with 3 moles of Oxygen

Thus 0.116 moles of ammonia will combine with= 3/4 * 0.116 = 0.087 of oxygen

Thus ammonia is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

4 moles of ammonia produces 2 moles of nitrogen

0.132 moles of ammonia will produce=2/4 * 0.116 = 0.058 of nitrogen

Molar mass of nitrogen =  28 g/mol

Amount of nitrogen produced=

No of moles * molar mass = 0.058 * 282 = 1.624 g
