4NH3 +50₂ →→ 6H₂O + 4NO

How many moles of water are produced if the reactions begins with 7.50 mol NH3?


4NH3 +50₂ →→ 6H₂O + 4NO
If 25.0 moles of water are produced, how many moles of NO will also be produced?

pls help

Please make me brainalist and keep smiling dude I hope you will be satisfied with my answer

4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O

Now ask yourself, "what do I want to find". You want to know how many moles of NO are produced.

What are you given? You are given that you start with 6.96 g NH3 and excess O2.

Now you need the correct conversion factor. The conversion factor is a fraction with the numerator containing the quantity you are trying to find, and the denominator containing what you are given.

4 moles NO / 4 x mol mass of NH3 Note that the numerator is in moles of NO which is the coefficient of NO in the balanced equation. The denominator includes the coefficient for NH3 x mol. mass of NH3. It should be this way whenever a substance is given in grams. Putting numbers in the factor gives you

4 moles NO / 4 x 17.031 g /mole = 0.0587 moles NO per gram of NH3. Now multiply the factor result by the number of grams NH3 you were given.

0.0587 moles NO / g NH3 x 6.96 g NH3 = 0.409 g NO produced.

______________________________________

Step 1: convert grams of NH3 to moles of NH3

Step 2: convert moles of NH3 to moles of NO using the coefficients in the balanced equation

(6.96g NH3) X (1 mol NH3 / 17.031g) = 0.409 mol of NH3

(0.409 mol NH3) X (4 mol NO / 4 mol NH3) = 0.409 mol NO

Because NH3 and NO both have a coefficient of 4 in the balanced equation, the number of moles are the same for those particular compounds.
