The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :
<em>4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4 NO(g)+ 6 H₂O(g)</em>
mass NH₃ = 80 g
mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):
mass O₂ = 120 g
mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :
Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :
mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :
mol H₂O :
mass H₂O :
4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g
The percent yield :
Chemical equations must always balance due to the principles outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law states that matter cannot be created out of nothing nor can it be destroyed.

Answer:
= 9.28 g CO₂
Explanation:
First write a balanced equation:
CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂
Convert the information to moles
7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄
13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂
Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2
Actual ratio is 0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1
If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂
So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation
Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂
0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂
Then convert to grams
0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂
round to 3 sig figs
= 9.28 g CO₂
