  • Calculating Ammonia Production from Hydrogen and Nitrogen Gas - Chemistry Problem
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

    N₂ (g) + 3 H₂ (g) → 2 NH₃ (g)

    2. Calculate the moles of hydrogen gas:

    * Molar mass of H₂ = 2 g/mol

    * Moles of H₂ = (3.5 g) / (2 g/mol) = 1.75 mol

    3. Determine the moles of ammonia produced:

    * From the balanced equation, 3 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of NH₃.

    * Moles of NH₃ = (1.75 mol H₂) * (2 mol NH₃ / 3 mol H₂) = 1.17 mol NH₃

    4. Calculate the mass of ammonia produced:

    * Molar mass of NH₃ = 17 g/mol

    * Mass of NH₃ = (1.17 mol) * (17 g/mol) = 19.89 g

    Therefore, approximately 19.89 grams of NH₃ will be produced.
