Open in App
Solution

The atomic masses of N and H are 14 g/mol and 1 g/mol respectively. The molecular weight of ammonia is 14+3(1)=17 g/mol.
Convert unit from g to kg
17 g/mol×1 kg1000 g=0.017 kg/mol
1 mole of ammonia weighs 0.017 kg and contains Avogadro's number ( 6.023×1023 ) of molecules.
Molecular mass of an ammonia molecule =0.017 kg/mol6.023 ×1023 molecules/mol=2.82×1026 kg
