Petunia needs 66.48 grams of potassium hydroxide (KOH) to run a reaction in class. How many moles of potassium hydroxide does she need? Please round your answer to two digits after the decimal point, and remember to include correct, complete units (including substance formula).

1.19mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of potassium hydroxide , KOH  = 66.48g

Unknown:

Number of moles of KOH = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to use the expression below;

   Number of moles  =  

Molar mass of KOH = 39 + 16 + 1  = 56g/mol

  Number of moles  =   = 1.19mole

the reaction mixture contains some ammonia, plus a lot of unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. the mixture is cooled and compressed, causing the ammonia gas to condense into a liquid. the liquefied ammonia is separated and removed. the unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are then recycled back into the reactor .
