ammonia reacts with sulfuric acid to form the important fertilizer, ammonium sulfate. What mass of ammonium sulfate can be produced from 75 KL of ammonia at 10C and 110Kpa? what formula am i suppose to use?

kiloliters

OpenStudy (asib1214):

so how do i solve this question??????????????LOL

OpenStudy (asib1214):

you mean 1000 liters..... that equals to 75000 liters???????????????/

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

i believe so

OpenStudy (asib1214):

so it is like this...wait

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Alright I think I know how you would start this problem.... Sorry it took a while for my brain to find it. Its been a long time since I have done chem. So I believe we us PV=nRT and plug in all the variables given and solve for n.

OpenStudy (asib1214):

NH3 + H2SO4 = (NH4)2SO4 75000L m=? 17.031g/mol 132.14g/mol 75000L X 1mol/L = 75000mol of NH3 75000mol X 17.031g/mol = 1'277'325g 1277325g X 1 mol/132.14g = 9666.45mol

OpenStudy (asib1214):

temperature and pressure are constant in this question so i don't think we need to use PV=nRt for this....am i right?????????????

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

I think you are correct.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Considering that the temp and press stay constant you would just do simple stoichometric conversions to solve this.

OpenStudy (asib1214):

i think so cuz the question doesn't mention any fluctuation of tem and press.
