Respuesta :
The volume that is occupied by 51.0 grams of ammonia gas(NH3) at STP is calculated as follows
find the moles of NH3= mass/molar mass
= 51.0 g/17 g/mol = 3 moles
At STP 1mole = 22.4 liters, what about 3 moles of NH3
= 3moles /1 mole x 22.4 L =67.2 liters will occupied by 51.0 g of NH3
find the moles of NH3= mass/molar mass
= 51.0 g/17 g/mol = 3 moles
At STP 1mole = 22.4 liters, what about 3 moles of NH3
= 3moles /1 mole x 22.4 L =67.2 liters will occupied by 51.0 g of NH3
Answer : The volume of ammonia gas at STP is, 67.2 liters
Explanation : Given,
Mass of ammonia = 51.0 g
Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mole
As we know that,
At STP, 1 mole of gas contains 22.4 L volume of gas.
First we have to calculate the moles of ammonia gas.
[tex]\text{Moles of }NH_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }NH_3}{\text{Molar mass of }NH_3}=\frac{51.0g}{17g/mole}=3mole[/tex]
Now we have to calculate the volume of ammonia gas at STP.
As, 1 mole of ammonia gas contains 22.4 L volume of ammonia gas
So, 3 moles of ammonia gas contains [tex]3\times 22.4L=67.2L[/tex] volume of ammonia gas
Therefore, the volume of ammonia gas at STP is, 67.2 liters
