Answer to Question #284102 in General Chemistry for ANGELA

Question

Sulfuric acid, H2SO4 (MM = 98.08 g/mol) reacts with ammonia, NH3

(MM = 17.03 g/mol) to produce the fertilizer ammonium sulfate,

(NH4)2SO4 (MM = 132.15 g/mol). The reaction is:

H2SO4 + 2NH3 → (NH4)2SO4

a.) What is the mass of ammonia, NH3 needed to completely

react with 3 grams sulfuric acid, H2SO4?

b.) How many moles of ammonia is required to react with excess

sulfuric acid, H2SO4 to produced 1.4 grams ammonium

sulfate, (NH3)2SO4?

Answer 1

Mass of Ammonia =34.7g
