    The atomic mass of potassium is 19 g/mol

    90.0 g of potassium contains;

    = 90.0/19

    = 4.737 moles

    The reaction between potassium and nitrogen is given by the equation;

    6K + N2 = 2K3N

    The mole ratio of potassium and nitrogen is 6:1

    The number of moles of nitrogen;

    = 4.737/6

    = 0.7895 moles

    But, 1 mole of nitrogen occupies 22.4 liters at STP

    Therefore; 0.7895 moles * 22.4 liters

    = 17.685 liters
