The complete balanced chemical
equation is:
4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (g)
In statement form: 4mol NH3 reacts with 5 mol O2 to produce 6
mol H2O
First let us find for the limiting reactant:
>molar mass NH3 = 17 g/mol
moles NH3 = 54/17 = 3.18 mol NH3
This will react with 3.18*5/4 = 3.97 mol O2
>molar mass O2 = 32g/mol
moles O2 = 54/32 = 1.69 mol O2
We have insufficient O2 therefore this is the limiting
reactant
From the balanced equation:
For every 5.0 mol O2, we get 6.0 mol H2O, therefore
moles H2O formed = 1.69
mol O2 * 6/5 = 2.025 mol
Molar mass H2O = 18g/mol
<span>mass H2O formed = 2.025*18 = 36.45 grams H2O produced</span>
Distillation method would be a good method.
Explanation:
Hence in this experiment, the importance of experiment is being tested, as it is added only in one set of plant.
A manipulated variable is an independent variable whose amount can be changed during an experiment.
Here the fertilizer is a manipulated variable.
I believe the answer would be 16.8
