Question

Given the following Babnced equation 4NH3 +5O2>

Answer 1

4NH3 + 5O2 ==> 4NO + 6H2O Balanced equation
ALWAYS WORK IN MOLES, NOT IN GRAMS
moles of NO produced = 70.5 g NO x 1 mole/30 g = 2.35 moles NO
Since this represents only a 29.8% yield, find what 100% yield would be:
2.35 moles/0.298 = 7.89 moles of NO
From the balanced equation 4 moles NH3 produces 4 moles of NO. Calculate moles of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NO x 4 moles NH3/4 moles NO = 7.89 moles NH3 needed
Find grams of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NH3 x 17 g/mole = 134 g NH3 needed
