Sandy is building a small toy car. he wants to use a balloon to power the toy car. he fills a balloon with air and then attaches a straw to the balloon. he tapes the balloon-straw combination to the car and then releases the end of the balloon. the toy moves forward as the air from the balloon comes out the back of the straw. what can sandy do to make the toy car move faster? a) use less air in the balloon. b) blow up the balloon more. c) use a longer straw. d) use larger tires.

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.

i think it's c. i'm not sure but i think so.
