Question

Not really sure what this question is asking... help!!

The clouds of jupiter are composed mostly of NH3 formed by a synthesis reaction between H2 and N2. Assuming all of the substances are gaseous, express the law of conservation of mass quantitatively for this reaction by completing the particle model drawing.

Answer 1

@JoannaBlackwelder @sweetburger

Answer 2

particle model drawing is?

Answer 3

I have no idea @aaronq

Answer 4

The only thing on the paper is an arrow pointing right

Answer 5

It says "complete" so it suggests that they gave you something to start with, is that the case?

Nothing infront or behind of the arrow?

Answer 6

nope...

Answer 7

Oh i think i know what they want.

They want you to represent the balanced equation with drawings ("ball-and-stick" models) of the molecules.

So write the balanced equation for this first.

Answer 8

N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3

right @aaronq

Answer 9

thats good, now you gotta draw those in their place.

so 1 nitrogen molecules + 3 hydrogen molecules -> 2 nitrogen molecules

Answer 10

I'm not really sure how to do that...

Answer 11

okay, try to draw them with the drawing tool and i'll correct you. Just look at the number of atoms and connect them

Answer 12

i mean "-> 2 ammonia molecules" not nitrogen sorry lol

Answer 13

@aaronq

Answer 14

Thats great ! you should use capitals when needed though. Nitrogen should be "N", not "n".

Answer 15

so would that be my final answer?

Answer 16

yep

Answer 17

thank you so much!

Answer 18

no problem !
