Answer to Question #295458 in General Chemistry for dez

Question

If 28.1 grams of ammonium chloride react to form 8.9 grams of ammonia, how many grams of hydrogen chloride must simultaneously be formed?

Answer 1

NH₄Cl $\rightleftharpoons\>$ NH₃ $+$ HCl

molar mass of NH$_3=17.031g/mol$

Molar mass of HCl $=36.458g/mol$

NH₃ $:$ HCl $=1:1$

$\frac{M_{HCl}}{36.458}=\frac{8.9}{17.031}$

$M_{HCl}=19.0521g$
