The substances nitrogen monoxide and hydrogen gas react to form nitrogen gas and water. Unbalanced equation: NO (g) + H2 (g) N2 (g) + H2O (l) In one reaction, 76.2 g of H2O is produced. What amount (in mol) of H2 was consumed? What mass (in grams) of N2 is produced?

H2 consumed 4.22 mol

N2 produced 59.107 g

Explanation:

Balanced equation:

2NO (g) + 2H2 (g) N2 (g) + 2H2O (l)

H2O MW = 18.02 g/mol

N2 MW = 28.01 g/mol

To determine the moles of H2O produced, the following formula should be used:

The value of moles is cleared:

2 mol H2      ⇒ 1 mol N2

4.22 mol H2 ⇒ X

To calculate the mass of H2 consumed, the molecular weight equation is used again:

the maximum mass of nh3 is nh3 in grams
