Question

A food scientist reacted 34g of ammonia with 3g of hydrogen chloride. Calculate the maximum mass of ammonium chloride the food scientist could produce

Answer 1

@Somy

Answer 2

write the reaction first and balance it

Answer 3

ok ammonia +hydrogen chloride=ammonium chloride @Somy

Answer 4

next.. @Somy

Answer 5

with their letter codes and balance it

Answer 6

we dont need to do that the instructions say write the word equation

Answer 7

do you know the solution to this problem if not I will ask somebody else for help :) @Somy

Answer 8

i do know but i need u to follow what i say..
i want u to write it in the letter format so u can see the ratio clearly

Answer 9

well if word format is good for you then go with it
use the mass of each
you can find their molecular mass from periodic table
find mole

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

the mass of hydrogen is 1 and the mass of ammonia is 17

Answer 12

yep that is molecular mass
now do u know the mole formula?

Answer 13

mass in g dividied by mr of element

Answer 14

@Somy

Answer 15

yep
so do it

Answer 16

the mass of ammonia divided by mr of hydrogen or other way round i am confused

Answer 17

no
look
you are given mass of ammonia
so use the mass and ITS OWN molecular mass

Answer 18

to find its own mole

Answer 19

then do same thing with HCl

Answer 20

im confused @Somy

Answer 21

how will the format of the method look like

Answer 22

A food scientist reacted 34g of ammonia with 3g of hydrogen chloride. Calculate the maximum mass of ammonium chloride the food scientist could produce

NH3 + HCl -> NH4Cl
34g 3g

you are given 34g of NH3
you said molecular mass of NH3 is 17, so now you have mass and molecular mass of NH3
now you can find mole of NH3
mole = mass / molecular mass = 34 / 17 = ........moles of NH3

Answer 23

its okay I asked a chemist and he helped me how to do it @somy

Answer 24

okay :)
