Determine the mass (in grams) for 0.513 moles of ammonia. [Hint: determine the molecular formula, and then calculate the molar mass and finally the mass]
Molecular formula of ammonia is NH3.
Molar mass of ammonia = 1x(atomic mass of N) + 3x( atomic mass of H)
= 1x(14.01 g/mol) + 3x(1.008 g/mol)
= 14.01 g/mol + 3.024 g/mol
= 17.034 g/mol
Mass of ammonia = moles of ammonia x molar mass of ammonia = 0.513 mol x (17.034 g/mol) = 8.74 g
