Ammonia reacts with sulfuric acid to produce the important fertilizer, ammonium hydrogen sulfate. What mass of ammonium hydrogen sulfate can be produced from 75 L of ammonia at 10°C and 110
Pa?
4 NH₃ + H₂

341 1) HSO4
(aq)

404.8g of (NH4)HSO4 is produced.

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Temperature (T) = 10°C = 10°C + 273 = 283K

Pressure (P) = 110KPa = 110/101.325 = 1.09atm

Volume (V) = 75L

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of ammonia, NH3.

The number of mole (n) of ammonia, NH3 can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation. This is illustrated below:

Note:

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

1.09 x 75 = n x 0.0821 x 283

Divide both side by 0.0821 x 283

n = (1.09 x 75) /(0.0821 x 283)

n = 3.52 moles

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole ammonium hydrogen sulfate produced from the reaction.

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

NH3 + H2SO4 —> (NH4)HSO4

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of NH3 produced 1 mole of (NH4)HSO4

Therefore, 3.52 moles of NH3 will also produce 3.52 moles of (NH4)HSO4.

Therefore, 3.52 moles of ammonium hydrogen sulfate, (NH4)HSO4 is produced.

Step 4:

Conversion of 3.52 moles of ammonium hydrogen sulfate, (NH4)HSO4 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of (NH4)HSO4 = 14 + (4x1) + 1 + 32 + (16x4) = 115g/mol

Number of mole of (NH4)HSO4 = 3.52 moles

Mass of (NH4)HSO4 =..?

Mass = mole x molar Mass

Mass of (NH4)HSO4 = 3.52 x 115 = 404.8g

Therefore, 404.8g of (NH4)HSO4 is produced.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
