Please show detailed solution (step by step). Please box final answer. 

5. Ammonia decomposes to form
nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas according
to the following reaction:
NH3(g) → 0.5 N₂ (g) + 1.5 H₂
(g)
Assuming 1 mol of ammonia decomposes
initially and xmoles of NH3 react,
develop an expression that will calculate
the average molecular weight in terms of
x. What are the possible values of MW ave
and x? (Express answers in two decimal
places)
