Solving Gas Stoichiometry

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-11-18] [Hit: ]
1)n = m / M,and 2)n = v / V, where n = moles, v = volume, and V = 22.So you have your balanced equation.......
What volume of hydrogen gas at STP is required for the complete reaction of 28.8 g of nitrogen in the following reaction?

N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)

Could someone please give me a detailed resonse to this so that I can learn how to do it? Thanks!

STP calculations are fairly easy. Two small formulas are required in this case. 1) n = m / M,
and 2) n = v / V, where n = moles, v = volume, and V = 22.4 L/mol at STP

So you have your balanced equation. N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)

Notice that it says that for every 1 mol of N2 you have you need to have 3 mol of H2. Right?

Always conveert masses into moles. You have 28.8 g of N2, therefore moles = 28.8 g / 28.2 g/mol

= 2 mol of N2 (rounding off)

So if you have 2 mol of N2 you will need 3 x 2 mol of H2, or 6 mol of H2

Convert that back to grams.

mass = mol x molar mass

6 mol x 2.02 g/mol = 12.12 g

OK?
