LAQ : How much NH4Cl is needed to prepare 10 litres of ammonia at STP?

Question

How much NH4Cl is needed to prepare 10 litres of ammonia at STP?

Answer

Balanced chemical equation:

NH4Cl = NH3 + HCl

Molecular Mass of NH4Cl = 53.5 g

The volume of NH3 = 22.4 L

Clearly, 22.4 L of ammonia is produced from 53.5 g of ammonium chloride.

∴ 10 L of ammonia can be produced from (53.5×10)/22.4 = 23.884 g of ammonium chloride.
