10. If 200. L of ammonia (NH3) are produced in the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen at STP, how many
liters of nitrogen gas is used up in this reaction?

100L of N2

Explanation:

First let us obtain the number of mole of NH3 that occupied 200L at stp. This can be achieved by doing the following:

1mole of NH3 occupied 22.4L at stp.

Therefore, Xmol mole of NH3 will occupy 200L i.e

Xmol of NH3 = 200/22.4 = 8.93moles.

Now let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction.

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the equation above,

1mole of N2 produced 2moles of NH3.

Therefore, Xmol of N2 will produce 8.93moles of NH3 i.e

Xmol of N2 = 8.93/2 = 4.47moles

Now let us convert 4.47moles to N2 to Litres. This is illustrated below:

1mole of N2 occupied 22.4L at stp

Therefore, 4.47moles of N2 will occupy = 4.47 x 22.4 = 100L

Therefore, 100L of N2 is used in the reaction
