The number of mole of nitrogen gas, N₂, needed to produce 150 g of ammonia, NH₃ is 4.41 moles
How to determine the mole of NH₃ produced
- Mass of NH₃ = 150 g
- Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1) = 17 g/mol
Mole = mass /molar mass
Mole of NH₃ = 150 / 17
Mole of NH₃ = 8.82 moles
How to determine the mole of N₂ needed
Balanced equation
N₂ + 3H₂ —> 2NH₃
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of NH₃ were produced by 1 mole of N₂.
Therefore,
8.82 moles of NH₃ will be produced by = 8.82 / 2 = 4.41 moles of N₂.
Thus, 4.41 moles of N₂ is needed for the reaction.
