Answer :

1. To find the volume of a gas at STP, we can use the ideal gas law, which is an equation that relates the pressure, volume, temperature and amount of a gas. The equation is:

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

We can rearrange this equation to find V:

V = nRT/P

We need to make sure that we use consistent units for P, V, T and R. Since we are given P in kPa and T in °C, we can use R = 8.31 J/(K⋅mol) and convert T to K by adding 273.15.

We also need to find n, which is the number of moles of hydrogen gas. We can use the molar mass of hydrogen, which is 2.02 g/mol, to convert the given mass of 5.0 mL to moles. Since 1 mL of gas at STP has a mass of 0.0899 g, we have:

5.0 mL × 0.0899 g/mL ÷ 2.02 g/mol = 0.00222 mol

Now we can plug in the values into the equation for V:

V = (0.00222 mol)(8.31 J/(K⋅mol))(273.15 + 18) K / (97.5 kPa)

V = 0.00507 m^3

To convert m^3 to L, we multiply by 1000:

V = 5.07 L

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is about 5.07 L.

2. To balance the equation for the reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen to form ammonia, we need to make sure that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation. We can do this by adjusting the coefficients (the numbers in front of each compound) until they match.

One possible way to balance the equation is:

3H2 + N2 → 2NH3

A. This type of reaction is called a synthesis reaction or a combination reaction, because two or more substances combine to form a single product.

B. The number of moles are conserved in the balanced equation, because there is no change in the total number of molecules involved in the reaction. According to the balanced equation, three moles of hydrogen react with one mole of nitrogen to produce two moles of ammonia.

C. The balanced equation supports the law of conservation of mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. According to the balanced equation, the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the product, because each atom has a fixed mass and no atoms are lost or gained in the reaction.

D. To find how many moles of ammonia can be produced from 4.0 liters of hydrogen at 50°C and 1.2 atm of pressure with excess nitrogen, we need to use the ideal gas law again to find how many moles of hydrogen are present:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (1.2 atm)(4.0 L) / ((0.082 L⋅atm)/(K⋅mol))(273 + 50) K)

n = 0.19 mol

Since we have excess nitrogen, hydrogen is the limiting reactant, meaning that it will be completely consumed in the reaction and determine how much ammonia can be produced.

According to the balanced equation, three moles of hydrogen produce two moles of ammonia, so we can use this ratio to find how many moles of ammonia are produced from 0.19 mol of hydrogen:

(2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2) × 0.19 mol H2 = 0.13 mol NH3

Therefore, about 0.13 moles of ammonia can be produced from 4.0 liters of hydrogen at 50°C and 1.2 atm with excess nitrogen.
