Problem

The synthesis of ammonia is represented by N2(g)+3 H2(g)→2 NH3(g)\mathrm{N_2(g)} + 3\,\mathrm{H_2(g)} \rightarrow 2\,\mathrm{NH_3(g)}. The standard enthalpy of formation of NH3(g)\mathrm{NH_3(g)} is −46.1 kJ mol−1-46.1\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}. Assuming standard conditions, what mass of ammonia must be produced for the reaction to release exactly 1.50×102 kJ1.50 \times 10^{2}\,\text{kJ} of heat? (a) 1.10×102 g1.10 \times 10^{2}\,\text{g} (b) 9.11×101 g9.11 \times 10^{1}\,\text{g} (c) 5.54×101 g5.54 \times 10^{1}\,\text{g} (d) 2.77×101 g2.77 \times 10^{1}\,\text{g}
