Question

FIND n factor for N2 ( nitrogen gas )

Answer 1

Answers:

Equivalent mass of N

=143 gm

Explanation: Given reaction is

N2+3H2→2NH3

Here oxidation state of N in N2

is 0. Whereas, oxidation state of N in NH3

is -3.

So, Three electrons are accepted by

N

.

Hence, Valence factor or n-factor

(nf) 0f N is 3

.

As we know,

Equivalent mass of

N= Molar Mass of N/nf

Equivalent mass of

N in=143 gm
