Ammonia will react with fluorine to produce dinitrogen tetrafluoride and hydrogen fluoride (used in production of aluminum, in uranium processing, and in frosting of light bulbs) . 2NH₃(g) + 5F₂(g) → N₂F₄(g) + 6HF(g)
How many moles of NH₃are needed to react completely with 13.6 mol of F₂?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation is 2NH3(g) + 5F2(g) → N2F4(g) + 6HF(g). For every 5 moles of F2, 2 moles of NH3 are needed. Therefore, for 13.6 moles of F2, (13.6 moles F2) * (2 moles NH3 / 5 moles F2) = 5.44 moles of NH3 are needed.
