How many moles of ammonium sulfate can be made from the reaction of 30.0 mol of NH3, with H2SO4 according to..

Question

the folllowing equation: 2NH3 + H2SO4 ---> (NH4)2SO4

and how do you figure it out???

Answer 1

1.- The reaction is:

2NH3 + H2SO4 -----> (NH4)2SO4

it tells us that 2 moles of ammonia yields 1 mol of Ammonium sulfate.

So we just need to state that:

2 moles NH3 - 1 mol (NH4)2SO4
30 moles NH3 - x

x = (30) (1) / 2 = 15 moles of (NH4)2SO4

That's it!

Good luck!
