Saying "one mole of nitrogen" is ambiguous because nitrogen can exist as a diatomic molecule (N2) in its elemental form. So, it is more accurate to specify whether it is one mole of nitrogen atoms (N) or one mole of nitrogen molecules (N2) to avoid confusion.

How many nitrogen atoms are in one molecule of the compound Al(NH3)2 one three six two?

Answer is two. Two atoms of Nitrogen. You can say one molecule of nitrogen. Because one molecule of nitrogen is composed of two toms of nitrogen.

Is bleach high in nitrogen?

When most people say 'bleach' with no modifiers they mean a solution of sodium hypochlorite, which contains no nitrogen whatsoever. Other types of bleaches may or may not contain nitrogen.


Is this true without nitrogen in the air a fire will not burn?

While nitrogen is a non-combustible gas that can be used to extinguish fires, it is not entirely accurate to say that without nitrogen in the air, a fire will not burn. Fires require oxygen to burn, and while nitrogen dilutes the oxygen concentration in the air and can help suppress fires, it is not the absence of nitrogen that prevents fires from burning.


If the atomic mass of ammonia?

Ammonia doesn't have an atomic mass as such (from a practical chemistry point of view), because it is a molecular compound comprised of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms.The atomic mass of an element is the number of protons and neutrons (you should really include the electrons as well which is why the atomic masses on you periodic table have some decimal points) in the nucleus of an atom, so H has an atomic mass of 1 (because the nucleus is a single proton) and N has the atomic mass of 15.(As an aside don't confuse atomic mass with atomic number, which is just the number of protons in the nucleus (7 for nitrogen). Look at a periodic table and you'll soon see which is which.)So, you could say that the "atomic mass" of ammonia (NH3) is the sum of its constituent atoms i.e. 18, but that isn't really very useful in my experience.What might be more practically useful is to understand how this relates to the "molar mass" of ammonia, which is the mass of 1 mol of ammonia. 1 mole of any compound (or element) contains EXACTLY 6.02 x 10^23 molecules. That can be calculated by adding up the atomic masses of your compound. E.G. 1 mole of N will have a mass of 15 metric grams. 1 mole of hydrogen will have a mass of 1 gram (see where this is going?!)Interestingly, whilst 1 mole of hydrogen would mass only a single gram, 1 mole of lead would mass over 200g even though they contain the EXACT SAME NUMBER OF ATOMS!!
