Question

PLEASE SHOW WORK and include units on each number

Ammonia (NH3) reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce nitrogen monoxide (NO) and water (H2O). Write and balance the chemical equation. How many liters of NO are produced when 2.0 liters of oxygen reacts with ammonia? Show all work!

Answer 1

Answer is: 1.6 liters of NO are produced.

Balanced chemical reaction: 4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O.

V(O₂) = 2.0 L; volume of oxygen.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(O₂) : n(NO) = 5 : 4.

V(O₂) : V(NO) = n(O₂) : n(NO).

2.0 L : V(NO) = 5 : 4.

V(NO) = 2 L · 4 ÷ 5.

V(NO) = 1.6 L; volume of nitrogen (II) oxide.
