Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the Haber reaction: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

  2. Use the Ideal Gas Law to find the moles of dinitrogen consumed per second: The Ideal Gas Law is given by: PV=nRT PV = nRT Where:

    • P P is the pressure (0.64 atm)
    • V V is the volume (349 L)
    • n n is the number of moles
    • R R is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol))
    • T T is the temperature in Kelvin (222°C + 273.15 = 495.15 K)

    Rearrange the Ideal Gas Law to solve for n n : n=PVRT n = \frac{PV}{RT}

    Substitute the given values: n=(0.64 atm)(349 L)(0.0821 L\cdotpatm/(K\cdotpmol))(495.15 K) n = \frac{(0.64 \text{ atm})(349 \text{ L})}{(0.0821 \text{ L·atm/(K·mol)})(495.15 \text{ K})}

    Calculate n n : n223.3640.645.50 moles/second n \approx \frac{223.36}{40.64} \approx 5.50 \text{ moles/second}

  3. Determine the moles of ammonia produced per second: From the balanced equation, 1 mole of N2 N_2 produces 2 moles of NH3 NH_3 . Therefore, the moles of NH3 NH_3 produced per second is: 2×5.50 moles/second=11.00 moles/second 2 \times 5.50 \text{ moles/second} = 11.00 \text{ moles/second}

  4. Convert moles of ammonia to mass: The molar mass of NH3 NH_3 is: 14.01 (N)+3×1.01 (H)=17.04 g/mol 14.01 \text{ (N)} + 3 \times 1.01 \text{ (H)} = 17.04 \text{ g/mol}

    The mass of NH3 NH_3 produced per second is: 11.00 moles/second×17.04 g/mol=187.44 g/second 11.00 \text{ moles/second} \times 17.04 \text{ g/mol} = 187.44 \text{ g/second}

  5. Convert grams per second to kilograms per second: 187.44 g/second=0.18744 kg/second 187.44 \text{ g/second} = 0.18744 \text{ kg/second}

  6. Round the answer to 2 significant digits: 0.19 kg/second 0.19 \text{ kg/second}

Therefore, the rate at which ammonia is being produced is 0.19 0.19 kilograms per second.
