Answer #1

The first thing you need to determine is which of either methane or ammonia is the limiting reagent. To do so, the following calculations need to beperformed:


There are less moles of methane, therefore it is the limiting reagent. This means that there will be no methane left, but some ammonia left. Now youneed to calculate the quantity of ammonia that will be left over.

Since methane and ammonia react in a 2 to 2 molar ratio (which reduces to 1 to 1), there will be about 0.2 moles of ammonia left.

Now calculate the mass of ammonia contained in 0.20 moles.
