Ammonia,NH₃,and oxygen can be reacted together in the presence of a catalyst to form only nitrogen monoxide and water.The number of moles of oxygen consumed for every 1.00 mole of NO produced is . A)1.25 B)5 C)3.75 D)0.625 E)2.5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O. For every 4 moles of NO produced, 5 moles of O₂ are consumed. Therefore, for every 1 mole of NO produced, 1.25 moles of O₂ are consumed (5/4 = 1.25).
