Answer to Question #144729 in General Chemistry for Mikkos Joshua Garcia

Question

According to indexmundi.com China produces the largest amount of ammonia with 45,520 in thousand metric ton. The profitability of the ammonia production is around 90% of the total ammonia production cost which is about Php 10,000 per ton.
Refer to the balanced chemical equation: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ➡️ 2NH3(g)

How much nitrogen and hydrogen were used in the production of ammonia in China?

Answer 1

m(H₂)=m(NH₃)*3Mr(H₂)/2Mr(NH₃)=45520*3*2/(2*17)=8,033 thousand metric ton;

m(N₂)=m(NH₃) - m(H₂)=45,520-8,033=37,487 thousand metric ton;
