Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert grams of N₂ to moles of N₂

Molar mass of N₂ = 28.02 g/mol

Moles of N₂ = (59.8 g N₂) * (1 mol N₂ / 28.02 g N₂) = 2.13 mol N₂

Step 2: Convert moles of N₂ to moles of NH₃ using the stoichiometric ratio

From the balanced chemical equation: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g) We can see that 1 mol of N₂ reacts to produce 2 moles of NH₃.

Moles of NH₃ = (2.13 mol N₂) * (2 mol NH₃ / 1 mol N₂) = 4.27 mol NH₃

Final Answer:

The theoretical yield of NH₃ is 4.27 moles.

When a man observed a sobriety checkpoint conducted by a police department, he saw 667 drivers were screened and 4 were arrested for driving while intoxicated. Based on those results, we can estimate that P(W)=0.00600, where W denotes the event of screening a driver and getting someone who is intoxicated. What does P(W̅) denote, and what is its value? What does P(W̅) represent? A. P(W̅) denotes the probability of a driver passing through the sobriety checkpoint. B. P(W̅) denotes the probability of screening a driver and finding that he or she is intoxicated. C. P(W̅) denotes the probability of driver being intoxicated. D. P(W̅) denotes the probability of screening a driver and finding that he or she is not intoxicated. P(W̅)= (Round to five decimal places as needed.)
