Answer:

18.75 g of NH3.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O

Next, we shall determine the masses of NH3 and O2 that reacted from the balanced equation.

This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17 g/mol

Mass of NH3 from the balanced equation = 4 x 17 = 68 g

Molar mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 5 x 32 = 160 g

From the balanced equation above,

68 g if NH3 reacted with 160 g of O2.

Next, we shall determine the excess reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

68 g if NH3 reacted with 160 g of O2.

Therefore, 40 g of NH3 will react with = (40 × 160)/68 = 94.12 g of O2.

From the calculations made above, we can see that it will take a higher amount of O2 i.e 94.12g than what was given i.e 50g to react completely with 40 g of NH3.

Therefore, O2 is the limiting reactant and NH3 is the excess reactant.

Next we shall determine the mass of excess reactant that reacted. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

68 g if NH3 reacted with 160 g of O2.

Therefore, Xg of NH3 will react with 50 g of O2 i.e

Xg of NH3 = (68 × 50)/160

Xg of NH3 = 21.25 g

Therefore, 21.25 g of NH3 (excess reactant) were consumed in the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine mass of the remaining excess reactant as follow:

Mass of excess reactant = 40 g

Mass of excess reactant that reacted = 21.25 g

Mass of excess reactant remainig =?

Mass of excess reactant remainig = (Mass of excess reactant) – (Mass of excess reactant that reacted)

Mass of excess reactant remainig

= 40 – 21.25

= 18.75 g

Therefore, the mass of excess reactant remaining is 18.75 g of NH3.
