Answer:
a. NH3 is limiting reactant.
b. 44g of NO
c. 40g of H2O
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(l)
4 moles of ammonia reacts with 5 moles of oxygen to produces 4 moles of NO and 6 moles of water.
To find limiting reactant we need to find the moles of each reactant and using the balanced equation find which reactant will be ended first. Then, with limiting reactant we can find the moles of each reactant and its mass:
<em>a. </em><em>Moles NH3 -Molar mass. 17.031g/mol-</em>
25g NH3*(1mol/17.031g) = 1.47moles NH3
Moles O2 = 4 moles
For a complete reaction of 4 moles of O2 are required:
4mol O2 * (4mol NH3 / 5mol O2) = 3.2 moles of NH3.
As there are just 1.47 moles, NH3 is limiting reactant
b. Moles NO:
1.47moles NH3 * (4mol NO/4mol NH3) = 1.47mol NO
Mass NO -Molar mass: 30.01g/mol-
1.47mol NO * (30.01g/mol) = 44g of NO
c. Moles H2O:
1.47moles NH3 * (6mol H2O/4mol NH3) = 2.205mol H2O
Mass H2O -Molar mass: 18.01g/mol-
2.205mol H2O * (18.01g/mol) = 40g of H2O
The earth wouldn’t have an atmosphere
Standard temperature and pressure (STP) means a temperature of 0°c and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm). The molar gas volume is used to convert between the number of moles of a gas and the volume of the gas at STP. One mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22400 cm³ or 22.4 liters at STP according to the molar gas volume.
