Question

For the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with oxygen (O2) to produce water and nitric oxide (NO), how many moles of water are produced when 2.2 moles of ammonia are reacted?

Answer 1

3.3 moles of H₂O.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ —> 6H₂O + 4NO

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of NH₃ reacted to produce 6 moles of H₂O.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of H₂O produced by the reaction of 2.2 moles of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow :

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of NH₃ reacted to produce 6 moles of H₂O.

Therefore, 2.2 moles of NH₃ will react to produce = (2.2 × 6)/4 = 3.3 moles of H₂O.

Thus, 3.3 moles of H₂O were obtained from the reaction.
