Nelum +23 Days A student separates propanoic acid (b. p. 141 °C) and butanoic acid (b. p. 164°C) using the apparatus shown below. thermometer water A B C electric heater propanoic acid and butanoic acid mixture (b) () . The student has left out one item in setting up the apparatus. (ii) Name apparatus A.

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.

girl imma just put my comment here because i need a couple point okurrttt

the maximum mass of nh3 is nh3 in grams

i believe the answer is three water molecules
