Answer:

a) 12/323

b) 8/233

Explanation:

a) The probability of a red ball being drawn is 12/38, or in a simplified fraction, 6/19. To find the probability that 3 are red you would multiply the probability of the fraction for each, except subtracting one from the total each time as the drawn is done without replacement. This is done as follows: 6/19 × 6/18 × 6/17= 12/323

b) The probability of drawing a blue ball is 8/38, or 4/19. To find that the first one is blue and the rest are red, the equation is done as follows: 4/19 × 6/18 × 6/17 = 8/233

(hopefully I did this right)

ALWAYS WORK IN MOLES, NOT IN GRAMS
moles of NO produced = 70.5 g NO x 1 mole/30 g = 2.35 moles NO
Since this represents only a 29.8% yield, find what 100% yield would be:
2.35 moles/0.298 = 7.89 moles of NO
From the balanced equation 4 moles NH3 produces 4 moles of NO. Calculate moles of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NO x 4 moles NH3/4 moles NO = 7.89 moles NH3 needed
Find grams of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NH3 x 17 g/mole = 134 g NH3 needed
