Ammonia undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce nitric oxide and water. The volume of the oxygen required to react with 720 ml of ammonia is 900 ml.
<h3>What is volume?</h3>Volume is the area occupied by the substance and is the ratio of the mass to the density.
At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume
Given,
Volume of ammonia reacted = 0.720 L
The combustion reaction is shown as,
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, it can be said that,
L of ammonia reacts with
L of oxygen gas.
So, 0.720 L of ammonia will react with:
Therefore, the volume of oxygen required is 900 mL.
