The volume of ammonia required to obtain 264 g of ammonium sulfate is …

The reaction of ammonia with sulfuric acid is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

2NH3 + H2SO4 = (NH4) 2SO4;

To obtain one mole of ammonium sulfate, two moles of ammonia and one mole of sulfuric acid are required.

Determine the amount of substance in 264 grams of ammonium sulfate.

M (NH4) 2SO4 = (14 + 4) x 2 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 132 grams / mol;

N (NH4) 2SO4 = 264/132 = 2 mol;

To obtain such an amount of salt substance, 4 moles of ammonia are required.

Under normal conditions, one mole of ideal gas takes up a volume of 22.4 liters.

V NH3 = 4 x 22.4 = 89.6 liters;
