Answer:
44 g oxygen are needed.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of oxygen needed = ?
Mass of ammonia = 18.2 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O
Now we will calculate the number of moles of ammonia:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 18.2 g/ 17 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.1 mol
Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with oxygen from balance chemical equation.
NH₃ : O₂
4 : 5
1.1 : 5/4×1.1 = 1.375 mol
Mass of oxygen needed:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 1.375 mol × 32 g/mol
Mass = 44 g
