Answer: A mass of 124457.96 g ammonia is produced by reacting a 450 L sample of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 450 K and a pressure of 300 atm.
Explanation:
Given: Volume = 450 L
Temperature = 450 K
Pressure = 300 atm
Using ideal gas equation, moles of nitrogen are calculated as follows.
PV = nRT
where,
P = pressure
V = volume
n = no. of moles
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K
T = tempertaure
Substitute values into the above formula as follows.
[tex]PV = nRT\\300 atm \times 450 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 450 K\\n = \frac{135000}{36.945}\\= 3654.08 mol[/tex]
According to the given equation, 1 mole of nitrogen forms 2 moles of ammonia. So, moles of ammonia formed by 3654.08 moles of nitrogen is as follows.
[tex]2 \times 3654.08 mol\\= 7308.16 mol[/tex]
As moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of ammonia (molar mass = 17.03 g/mol) is as follows.
[tex]Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\7308.16 = \frac{mass}{17.03 g/mol}\\mass = 124457.96 g[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that a mass of 124457.96 g ammonia is produced by reacting a 450 L sample of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 450 K and a pressure of 300 atm.
