I had to do this problem on a sample exam I got from the University of South Carolina. It has to do with a stoichiometry reaction. If I got the answer wrong, I apologize but this is how I did it. I'll use 2 approaches so you can understand all the concepts going into it. And forget about the "excess H_2" so it doesn't throw you off.

First write a balanced equation of the reactants and product:

N_2 + 3H_2 -----> 2NH_3

N_2 = 10g

10g of N_2 x [1 mol N_2 / (14.0067x2)] x (3 mol H_2 / 1 mol N_2) x [(1.0079x2) / 1 mol H_2]

so,

10 x (1 / 28.0134) x (3) x (2.0158), is

10 x (.03569) x (3) x (2.0158) = 2.158 grams of H_2

Since we have 10g of N_2, we can add the two numbers and find out the mass of ammonia. 10g + 2.158 = 12.158g, or 12 g NH_3.

Similarly we can substitute the ammonia (NH_3) for the H_2 in the equation above and get the same answer.

10g of N_2 x [1 mol N_2 / (14.0067x2)] x (2 mol NH_3 / 1 mol N_2) x [(14.0067 + (1.0079 x 3)) / 1 mol NH_3]

so,

10 x (1 / 28.0134) x (2) x (17.0304), is

10 x (.03569) x (2) x (17.0304) = 12.158 g, or 12 g NH_3

By stoichiometry, every 1 mole of N2 reacts with 3 moles of H2 to produce 2 moles of NH3. Therefore, 10g of N2 corresponds to 0.357 moles. Since there is excess H2, all 10g of N2 would react to produce NH3, which would be 0.476 moles (0.357 moles of N2 * 2 moles of NH3 / 1 mole of N2). The mass of NH3 produced would be 9.07g (0.476 moles * 17.03g/mol).

When 10g of sodium are put into 100g of water, the reaction produces only 109.6g of sodium hydroxide because of the sodium's solvency. Some of the sodium is displaced in the reaction, and this is why it does not seem to add up.

Would a 10g piece of aluminum and 10g piece of iron have the same volume?

No, the 10g piece of aluminum and 10g piece of iron would not have the same volume. Different materials have different densities, so even if they have the same mass, their volumes will be different.
