Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\text{197.4 g}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.
Mᵣ: 28.01 17.03
N₂ + 3H₂ ⟶ 2NH₃
m/g: 240.0
(a) Moles of NH₃
[tex]\text{Moles of NH}_{3} = \text{240.0 g NH}_{3}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NH}_{3}}{\text{17.03 g NH}_{3}}= \text{14.09 mol NH}_{3}[/tex]
(b) Moles of N₂
[tex]\text{Moles of N$_{2}$} = \text{14.09 mol NH}_{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol N$_{2}$}}{\text{2 mol NH}_{3}} = \text{7.046 mol N$_{2}$}[/tex]
(c) Mass of N₂
[tex]\text{Mass of N$_{2}$} =\text{7.046 mol N$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{28.01 g N$_{2}$}}{\text{1 mol N$_{2}$}} = \textbf{197.4 g N$_{2}$}\\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{197.4 g}}$ of N$_{2}$}[/tex]
