To produce 100.0 L of NH3 at STP, 62.4 grams of N2 are required.
The balanced equation for the reaction is:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)
According to the balanced equation, one mole of N2 reacts with three moles of H2 to produce two moles of NH3. From this information, we can use stoichiometry to determine the mass of N2 required to produce 100.0 L of NH3 at STP.
First, we need to convert liters of NH3 to moles using the ideal gas law and the molar volume of a gas at STP (~22.4 L/mol). Once we have the moles of NH3, we can use the mole ratio from the balanced equation to calculate the moles of N2. Finally, we can use the molar mass of N2 to convert moles to grams.
Let's calculate:
Therefore, 62.4 grams of N2 are required to produce 100.0 liters of NH3 at STP.
