Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Balanced] 4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

[Given] 13.2 mol O₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 5 mol O₂ → 4 mol NO

Step 3: Stoich

1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     $\displaystyle 13.2 \ mol \ O_2(\frac{4 \ mol \ NO}{5 \ mol \ O_2})$
2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                         $\displaystyle 10.56 \ mol \ NO$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

10.56 mol NO ≈ 10.6 mol NO
