For formation of $3.40 \mathrm{~g}$ of ammonia gas, what volumes of hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas, respectively are required at NTP conditions?
  1. $2.24 \mathrm{~L}$ and $2.24 \mathrm{~L}$
  2. $2.24 \mathrm{~L}$ and $1.24 \mathrm{~L}$
  3. $6.72 \mathrm{~L}$ and $2.24 \mathrm{~L}$
  4. $6.72 \mathrm{~L}$ and $1.12 \mathrm{~L}$

Solution

$ \begin{array}{ccc} \text { (c) } \mathrm{N}_2 & +3 \mathrm{H}_2 & \underset{1 \mathrm{~V}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{NH}_3 \\ 22.4 \mathrm{~L} & 22.4 \times 3 & 2 \mathrm{~V} \\ =224 \mathrm{~L} & =67.2 \mathrm{~L} & =44.8 \mathrm{~L} \end{array} $ According to Gay-Lussac's law, 3 volumes of $\mathrm{H}_2$ will give 2 vol. of $\mathrm{NH}_3$. $ \therefore 67.2 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{H}_2 \text { will give }=\frac{2 \times 67.2}{3}=44.8 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{NH}_3 $ At the same time, 3 vol. of $\mathrm{H}_2$ will react $=1$ vol. of $\mathrm{N}_2$. $ \begin{aligned} \therefore 67.2 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{H}_2 \text { will react } & =\frac{1}{3} \times 67.2 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{of} \mathrm{N}_2 \\ & =224 \mathrm{~L} \text { of } \mathrm{N}_2 \end{aligned} $ 67.2 $\mathrm{L}$ of $\mathrm{H}_2$ and $22.4 \mathrm{~L}$ of $\mathrm{N}_2$ are required to form $34 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{NH}_3$. So, for $3.4 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ 6.72 $\mathrm{L}$ and $2.24 \mathrm{~L}$ of $\mathrm{H}_2$ and $\mathrm{N}_2$ gas are required respectively
