CHEMISTRY | QN 02 | MOLE CONCEPT


Hydrogen gas reached with nitrogen gas to form ammonia by Haber process. Calculate the volume of ammonia produced of 2dm3 of nitrogen reacted with 4dm3 of hydrogen gas at S.T.P.


  • Data


    Volume of N2 = 2dm3
    Volume of hydrogen (H2) = 4dm3
    Molar volume at S.T.P = 22.4dm3
    Asked: to calculate the volume of Ammonia gas produced
  • CHEMICAL EQUATION


    N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇋ 2NH2
  • To convert volume of N2 and H2 into moles.


    Mole = volume / Molar volume
    For N2 = 2dm3 / 22.4 dm3/mole
    = 0.089 moles
    Mole ratio for N2 = mole calculated / Mole from equation
    = 0.089 moles / 1mole
    = 0.089

    Mole ratio for H2 = 4dm3 / 22.4 dm3/mole
    = 0.17857 mole
    Mole ratio for H2 = 0.17857 mole / 3
    = 0.0595
  • Mole equivalent between hydrogen gas and ammonia gas


    3moles of H2 Ξ 2moles of NH3
    0.17857 mole Ξ??

    > 3 moles × x = 0.17857 moles × 2 moles
    = 0.17857 × 2 3 = 0.11904 mole of NH3

    Volume = mole × molar volume
    = 0.11904 mole × 22.4dm3
    = 2.67dm3

    2.67dm3 of ammonia gas was produced.
