The Miller-Urey experiment attempted to simulate the formation life, or at least the formation of organic molecules on Earth. The reaction vessel held a sample of ammonia, methane, water, and hydrogen, the materials believed to be present in the early Earth atmosphere and oceans. Assuming that the substances were held in a container with the top attached to a piston, when 14.4g water, 3.21g methane, 13.63g ammonia, and .4032g hydrogen were present at room temperature, the volume of the gas in the container was 15.0L and the pressure 2.0 atm. Assuming that each material is present in only one state answer the following questions.
(8) How many moles of each substance are present?
The number of moles of each substance are found by basic conversion.
