Question

Ammonia reacts with oxygen to produce nitric acid (HNO3) and water. What mass of nitric acid, in grams, can be made from 892 g of ammonia?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: 3305.6 g of HNO₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass HNO₃ = ?

mass NH₃ = 892 g

Balanced Reaction

2 NH₃ + 4 O₂ ⇒ 2HNO₃ + 2H₂O

MW NH₃ = 14 + 3 = 17g

MW HNO₃ = 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 g

34 g of NH₃ ------------------ 126 g of HNO₃

892 g of NH₃ ------------------ x

x = (892 x 126) / 34

x = 3305.6 g of HNO₃
