based on the law of multiple proportions, how many grams of hydrogen would you expect 2.58 g of nitrogen to combine with to yield ammonia?

Sagot :

Based on the law of multiple proportions, there are 0.55 grams of hydrogen.

Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.

In one molecule of the ammonia, there are three hydrogen atoms and one nitrogen atom

In a molecule of ammonia (NH3), proportion of the masses of nitrogen and hydrogen is:

m(N) : m(H) = 14 : (3·1) = 14 : 3

Mass of nitrogen is 2.58 grams

2.58 g : m(H) = 14 : 3

m(H) = 0.55 g; mass of hydrogen needed to react with nitrogen

Balanced chemical reaction: N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃
