First, we need to get the number of moles of NH3:

no. of moles = mass of NH3 / molar mass

when we have the mass = 155g & the molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (1x3) = 17 g/mol

∴ no. of moles = 155g/17mol/g

= 9.12 moles

∴ the heat (in Kj) = no. of moles of NH3 * (ΔHrxn/4moles NH3)

= 9.12 moles * (-906 / 4mol NH3)

= - 2065.68 KJ
