Consider the catalytic oxidation of ammonia gas represented by the balanced chemical equation below:

4NH_3(g) + 5O_2(g) \rightarrow 4NO(g) + 6H_2O(g)

6.8\text{ g}

of ammonia gas reacts completely with excess oxygen gas at STP, calculate the volume of nitrogen(II) oxide gas and the volume of steam produced.

[H = 1, N = 14, O = 16, \text{Molar volume of gas at STP} = 22.4\text{ dm}^3\text{ mol}^{-1}]

Fill in the missing values in the statement below.

Cevap:The volume of nitrogen(II) oxide gas (

NO

) produced at STP is 【8.96】 dm³, and the volume of steam (

H_2O

) produced at STP is 【13.44】 dm³.

Cevap

The volume of nitrogen(II) oxide produced at STP is 8.96 dm³ and the volume of steam produced at STP is 13.44 dm³.

Molar mass of ammonia is 17 g/mol, meaning 6.8 g equals 0.4 mol of ammonia. According to the balanced equation, 4 moles of ammonia produce 4 moles of nitrogen(II) oxide gas and 6 moles of steam. Thus, 0.4 mol of ammonia yields 0.4 mol of nitrogen(II) oxide gas (0.4 * 22.4 = 8.96 dm³) and 0.6 mol of steam (0.6 * 22.4 = 13.44 dm³).

Calculate the molar mass of ammonia (

NH_3

)

Molar mass of

NH_3 = 14 + (3 \times 1) = 17\text{ g mol}^{-1}

Required to convert the given mass of reactant into moles.

Calculate the number of moles of

NH_3

reacted

\text{Moles of } NH_3 = \frac{6.8\text{ g}}{17\text{ g mol}^{-1}} = 0.4\text{ mol}

Stoichiometric relations in chemical equations are expressed in mole ratios.

Determine the moles of

NO(g)

and

H_2O(g)

produced using stoichiometric coefficients

From the balanced equation,

4\text{ mol } NH_3 \rightarrow 4\text{ mol } NO

, so

0.4\text{ mol } NH_3 \rightarrow 0.4\text{ mol } NO

.
Also,

4\text{ mol } NH_3 \rightarrow 6\text{ mol } H_2O(g)

, so

\text{Moles of } H_2O = \frac{6}{4} \times 0.4 = 0.6\text{ mol}

The coefficients in the balanced equation define the molar ratio between reactants and products.

Convert the moles of each gaseous product to volume at STP using molar gas volume

\text{Volume of } NO = 0.4\text{ mol} \times 22.4\text{ dm}^3\text{ mol}^{-1} = 8.96\text{ dm}^3

\text{Volume of } H_2O = 0.6\text{ mol} \times 22.4\text{ dm}^3\text{ mol}^{-1} = 13.44\text{ dm}^3

At STP,

1\text{ mole}

of any ideal gas occupies

22.4\text{ dm}^3
