Use your knowledge of gravity to explain why it makes sense that Jupiter has more moons than Earth. In your response be sure to: a. compare the masses of Earth and Jupiter.

b. discuss the role of gravity in the orbital motion of objects in space.

The size of Jupiter is much larger than Earth, meaning it's gravitational pull is stronger. The mass of Jupiter is 318 times bigger than Earth. In order to calculate the gravitational force between two objects with masses of m1 and m2 , the equation is: where G is the gravitational constant (6.67E-11 m3 s-2 kg-1), r is the distance between the two objects, and F is the magnitude of the force between the objects.Every object in space exerts a gravitational pull on every other, and so gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies. It keeps planets in orbit. It makes it possible to use human-made satellites and to go to and return from the Moon.

Explanation:

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.
