Answer:

44.4 moles of NH3.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that in the chemical equation, we have that 4 moles of NH3 reacted produces 6 moles of H2O. We can state the rule of three to find how many moles of NH3 we need to produce 66.6 moles of H2O, like this:


\begin{gathered} \text{4 moles NH}_3\rightarrow6\text{ moles H}_2O \\ ?\text{ moles NH}_3\rightarrow66.6\text{ moles H}_2O. \end{gathered}

The calculation would be:


66.6\text{ moles H}_2O\cdot\frac{4\text{ moles NH}_3}{6\text{ moles H}_2O}=44.4\text{ moles NH}_3.

We will need 44.4 moles of NH3 to produce 66.6 moles of H2O.
