Nitric oxide, NO, is made from the oxidation of NH3, and the reaction is represented by the equation: 4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O Wh

Answer:

16.16g of O2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of NH3 and O2 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

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

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

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

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

From the balanced equation above,

68g of NH3 reacted with 160g of O2.

Now, we can calculate the mass of O2 that will be required to react completely with 6.87 g of NH3. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

68g of NH3 reacted with 160g of O2

Therefore, 6.87g of NH3 will react with = (6.87 x 160)/68 = 16.16g of O2.

Therefore, 16.16g of O2 is needed for the reaction.

Three different atoms or atomic cations with 3 electrons.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$Li, Be^+, B^{2+}$

Explanation:

To answer this question successfully, we need to remember that atoms are neutral species, since the number of protons, the positively charged particles, is equal to the number of electrons, the negatively charged particles. That said, we may firstly find an atom which has 3 electrons (and, as a result, 3 protons, as it should be neutral).

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element. We firstly may have an atom with 3 protons and 3 electrons (atomic number of 3, this is Li).

Similarly, we may take the atomic number of 4, beryllium, and remove 1 electron from it. Upon removing an electron, it would become beryllium cation, $Be^+$ .

We may use the same logic going forward and taking the atomic number of 5. This is boron. In this case, we need to remove 2 electrons to have a total of 3 electrons. Removal of 2 electrons would yield a +2-charged cation: $B^{2+}$ .
