How many grams of hydrogen will react with excess nitrogen to form 10.0 moles ammonia? How may moles of hydrogen must react with 56 grams of...

Hydrogen and nitrogen react to form ammonia. The relevant chemical equation can be written as:


`N_2 + 3H_2 -> 2NH_3`


Here 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen to form 2 moles of ammonia. 


In the first case, excess nitrogen is present. Using stoichiometry,


2 moles ammonia requires 3 moles hydrogen,


1 mole of ammonia will require 3/2 moles of hydrogen


and 10 moles of ammonia will require 3/2 x 10 =...

Hydrogen and nitrogen react to form ammonia. The relevant chemical equation can be written as:


`N_2 + 3H_2 -> 2NH_3`


Here 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen to form 2 moles of ammonia. 


In the first case, excess nitrogen is present. Using stoichiometry,


2 moles ammonia requires 3 moles hydrogen,


1 mole of ammonia will require 3/2 moles of hydrogen


and 10 moles of ammonia will require 3/2 x 10 = 15 moles of hydrogen.


The molar mass of hydrogen is 2 g.


Thus, 15 moles x 2 g/mole = 30 g of hydrogen is required to make 10 moles of ammonia.


Molar mass of nitrogen is 28 g and thus, 56 g of nitrogen contains 56 g / 28 (g/mole) =  2 moles.


Using the well balanced chemical equation for formation of ammonia, 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen and thus, 2 moles of nitrogen will react with 2 x 3 = 6 moles of hydrogen.


Hope this helps.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.
