Question

If 18*10`23 molecules of H2 react with nitrogen, how many moles of NH3 are produced

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

 Number of molecules of H₂ = 1.8 x 10²³molecules

Unknown:

Number of moles of NH₃ = ?

Solution:

 The reaction equation is given as:

                 N₂  + 3H₂   →   2NH₃

   Let us solve from the known to the unknown specie;

 Since the number of molecules is 1.8 x 10²³molecules of H₂;

      6.02 x 10²³molecules will give 1 mole of a substance

      1.8 x 10²³molecules will produce  $\frac{1.8 x 10^{23} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }$ mole of H₂

                                                               = 0.3moles of H₂

From the balanced chemical equation;

                 3 moles of H₂ produced 2 moles of NH₃

                 0.3 moles of H₂ will yield $\frac{0.3 x 2}{3}$   = 0.2moles
