Ammonia is made from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ammonia is made from nitrgen and hydrogen.

It has the chemical formula 'NH3'.

This means that one molecule of ammonia contains:-

1 x nitrogen

3 x hydrogen.

Each hydrogen is singly bonded to the nitrogen, and it form a pyramidal shape.

It has a very distinctive 'dirty urinary toilet' smell.

It is ammonia that you smell in a dirty toilet, or in urine. It is also present in the brass cleaning agent 'Brasso'.

A mass of ammonia weighs 2.00g.What mass of sulphur dioxide contains the same number of molecules as are in 2.00g ammonia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To find the mass of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) that contains the same number of molecules as 2 grams of ammonia (NH₃), you can use the concept of moles and the molar mass.

  1. **Find the number of moles of ammonia:**

    [ \text{Moles of NH₃} = \frac{\text{Mass of NH₃}}{\text{Molar mass of NH₃}} ]

    The molar mass of ammonia (NH₃) is approximately 17 grams/mol.

  2. **Use Avogadro's Number:**

    According to Avogadro's number, 1 mole of any substance contains the same number of entities (atoms, molecules, etc.), which is approximately (6.022 \times 10^{23}).

  3. **Find the number of molecules of ammonia:**

    [ \text{Number of NH₃ molecules} = \text{Moles of NH₃} \times (6.022 \times 10^{23}) ]

  4. **Convert to moles of sulfur dioxide:**

    Since the number of molecules is the same for both substances, the moles of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) would be the same as the moles of ammonia.

    [ \text{Moles of SO₂} = \text{Moles of NH₃} ]

  5. **Find the mass of sulfur dioxide:**

    [ \text{Mass of SO₂} = \text{Moles of SO₂} \times \text{Molar mass of SO₂} ]

    The molar mass of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is approximately 64 grams/mol.

Now, you can substitute the values into the equations to find the mass of sulfur dioxide.

Is ammonia linear?

Asked by Wiki User

NO!! It is described as 'Pyramidal'.

The three hydrogen atoms form the three base corners of a pyramid, and the nitrogen forms the 'peak' of the pyramid. The 'lone pair' of electrons lie on the top of the nitrogen.

What is the compound name for ammonia?

Asked by Wiki User

Ammonia is the compound name. NH3 is universally known as ammonia.

No body names it as 'nitrogen (tri)hydride'.

Similsrly Water is the compound name. H2O is universally known as water. Nobody names it as 'dihydrogen monoxude'.

What if your crab smells like ammonia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the crab is in a tank, the problem is too much feces in the water. You need a better filter or less crabs. Crabs excrete ammonia. If the crab is on your dinner plate, it is spoiled. The smell of ammonia is from decomposition of the crab. Throw it away or risk uncontrollable pooping and pewking at the same time.
