Use the following reaction. Remember to first check if it is balanced!

N2+3H22NH3

nitrogen + hydrogen ammonia

Complete the stoichiometry table below to calculate how many grams of ammonia are produced if 14g of H₂ are reacted with an excess of N₂. You will need to calculate molar masses with the following information:

Substance H N

Molar mass 1.0 g/mol 14.0 g/mol

14 g H₂ 2 1 mol H2 _____ __ g NH3

1.0 g H₂ _______ 1 mol NH3

1 answer

To solve this problem, we need to first calculate the number of moles of hydrogen in 14g of H₂:

Molar mass of H₂ = 2.0 g/mol

Number of moles of H₂ = Mass / Molar mass = 14g / 2.0 g/mol = 7 mol

Now, we can use the stoichiometry of the reaction to determine the number of moles of ammonia produced when 7 moles of hydrogen react:

From the balanced equation:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

For every 3 moles of H₂ reacting, 2 moles of NH₃ are produced.

Number of moles of NH₃ = (7 mol H₂) x (2 mol NH₃ / 3 mol H₂) = 4.67 mol NH₃

Finally, we can convert the number of moles of ammonia to grams:

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14.0 g/mol

Mass of NH₃ = (4.67 mol) x (14.0 g/mol) = 65.4 g

Therefore, if 14g of H₂ are reacted, 65.4g of NH₃ are produced.
