Answer

d) 1.14 mol.

Work Step by Step

Mass of NH$_{3}$ = 6.50g Molar mass of N = 14.0gmol$^{-1}$ Molar mass of H = 1.00gmol$^{-1}$ Since there are 3 moles of Hydrogen in NH$_{3}$: Molar mass of NH$_{3}$ = (1 * 14.0) + (3 * 1.00) = 17.0gmol$^{-1}$ n = $\frac{m}{M}$ => n(NH$_{3}$) = $\frac{m(NH_{3})}{M(NH_{3})}$ => n(NH$_{3}$) = $\frac{6.50g}{17.0gmol^{-1}}$ => n(NH$_{3}$) = 0.382 mol Since there are 3 moles of H in every 1 mole of NH$_{3}$: Number of moles of H in 0.382mol of NH$_{3}$ = 3 * 0.382mol $\approx$ 1.14 mol Hence, correct answer is d) 1.14 mol
