Answer:

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}Number of moles=Molar massGiven mass ....(1)

For N_2N2 :

Given mass of nitrogen gas = 10 g

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of iron oxide}=\frac{10g}{28g/mol}=0.357molMoles of iron oxide=28g/mol10g=0.357mol

The given chemical reaction follows:

N_2+O_2\rightarrow 2NON2+O2→2NO

As, oxygen gas is present in excess. Thus, it is considered as an excess reagent and nitrogen is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
