To determine how many grams of NH3 can be produced from 375g of N2, you need to recognize the balanced chemical equation between N2 and NH3.
The balanced equation for the reaction between N2 and NH3 is:
N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
This reaction illustrates that one molecule of N2 reacts with three molecules of H2 to produce two molecules of NH3.
To find the amount in grams, you can use the molar masses of N2 (28.02 g/mol) and NH3 (17.03 g/mol).
1. Calculate the moles of N2 in 375g using the molar mass of N2:
Moles of N2 = Mass of N2 / Molar mass of N2
= 375g / 28.02 g/mol
2. Since the reaction ratio between N2 and NH3 is 1:2, the number of moles of NH3 produced would also be twice the number of moles of N2.
3. Calculate the moles of NH3 produced:
Moles of NH3 = 2 * Moles of N2
4. Find the mass of NH3 produced using the molar mass of NH3:
Mass of NH3 = Moles of NH3 * Molar mass of NH3
By following these steps, you can calculate the grams of NH3 that can be produced from 375g of N2.
