Stoichiometry Help - Please help!

Need some help guys!

 

 

1)

Equation: N2 + 3H2 ---> 2NH3 (N subscript 2 + 3 (H subscript 2) equals 2NH(subscript 3)

 

Problem: What volume of NH3 is produced if 25.0g of N2 is reacted with an excess of H2?

 

Can someone explain this one...

 

and:

 

2KClO3 ----> 2KCl + 3O2

 

If 5.0 g of KClO3 is decomposted, what volume of O2 is produced at STP?

 

 

Some help, walkthroughs, pages that explain how to do this exactly... would be great.

 

Needed ASAP!

We turned it in... and uhm, we didn't really go over this, it's a problem in a packet... We did mole-to-mole, but not these.

 

Anyhow, the class im taking is "Chemistry in the Community" -- It's not Chemistry itself.. so Stoichiometry was not covered in the textbook... And our teacher doesn't generally help us... So yeah.

Since there is excess H2 then the limiting reactant will be the N2. Therefore the amount of NH3 produced is based on how much N2 gas there is, in this case 25 grams. The calculations begin as follows:

How Only at STP can you multiply by 22.43 L/mol. If you are not at STP then you MUST use the formula PV = nRT, Where P is the pressure in atm, V is the volume in Liters, n is the number of moles, R is the constant (.0821 for atm) and T is the temperature in kelvin.

 

Now that I showed you how to do this one, you should be able to do the other.
