Question

Ammonia reacts with oxygen to produce nitric acid (HNO3) and water. What mass of nitric acid, in grams, can be made from 892 g of ammonia?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3305.6 g of HNO₃

Explanation:

Data

mass HNO₃ = ?

mass NH₃ = 892 g

Balanced Reaction

                          2 NH₃    +   4 O₂     ⇒    2HNO₃    + 2H₂O

MW NH₃ = 14 + 3 = 17g

MW HNO₃ = 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 g

                          34 g of NH₃   ------------------  126 g of HNO₃

                       892 g of NH₃   ------------------    x

                       x = (892 x 126) / 34

                      x = 3305.6 g of HNO₃
