According to the following reaction, how many grams of hydrogen gas are required for the complete reaction of 32.5 grams of nitrogen
gas?

nitrogen (g) + hydrogen (g) — ammonia (g)

…grams hydrogen gas

7.03 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced synthesis reaction

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇒ 2 NH₃(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 32.5 g of N₂

The molar mass of N₂ is 28.01 g/mol.

32.5 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 1.16 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of H₂ needed to react with 1.16 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3. The moles of H₂ needed are 3/1 × 1.16 mol = 3.48 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 3.48 moles of H₂

The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.

3.48 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 7.03 g

i believe the answer is three water molecules
