Avessel contains 18.06*10^23 molecules of ammonia gas at 25°c. calculate the number of hydrogen atoms present in the ammonia gas.

Explanation:

There are 5.418×10^24 hydrogen atoms present in the ammonia.

Explanation:

Ammonia (NH3) is a molecule that exists as a gas at Standard temperature (298 K). It contains atoms of Nitrogen and Hydrogen in atomic ratio of 1:3. We can represent it in equation as:

N2 + 3H2 <> 2NH3

One molecule of NH3 contains one atom of Nitrogen (N) and three atoms of Hydrogen (H). That is 3 atoms of Hydrogen are present in every 1 molecule of NH3. We can as well say that 1 atom of Hydrogen is present in 1/3 molecule of NH3.

Number of NH3 molecules = 1/3 × number of hydrogen atoms

Number of NH3 molecules = 18.06 × 10^23 molecules at 25°C

18.06× 10^23 molecules = 1/3 × number of hydrogen atoms

Cross multiply,

Number of hydrogen atoms= 3× 18.06×10^23 molecules

Number of hydrogen atoms= 5.418×10^24 atoms

Therefore, there are 5.418×10^24 hydrogen atoms present in the ammonia.
