AP Chemistry Warm-up #2
Gaseous ammonia is synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen.
1) Write a balanced chemical reaction:
N2 + 3H2 ----> 2NH3
2) If you take 355 L of hydrogen gas at 25.0 Celsius and 542 mm Hg and
combine it with excess nitrogen gas, what is the theoretical yield of
ammonia?
542 mm Hg x (1atm / 760. mm Hg) = 0.7132 atm (keep an extra sig. fig.)
n = PV / RT
n = ( 0.7132 atm x 355 L) / ( 0.08206 Latm/Kmole x 298.2 K)
n = 10.35 moles H2(keep an extra sig. fig.)
10.35 moles H2 x (2 moles NH3 / 3 moles H2) = 6.900 moles NH3
6.900 moles NH3 x (17.03 g NH3 / 1 mole NH3) = 118 g NH3
3) If the ammonia occupies a 125 L tank at 25.0 Celsius, what is its
pressure?
