Consider the reaction represented by the unbalanced equation NH₃ + O₂ $\rightarrow$ NO + H₂O. For every 3.61 mol of NH₃ that reacts, _______ mol of O₂ is required. A) 4.51 B) 3.61 C) 14.44 D) 2.89 E) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation is 4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O. For every 4 mol of NH₃, 5 mol of O₂ are required. Therefore, for 3.61 mol of NH₃, (5/4) * 3.61 = 4.51 mol of O₂ is required.
