Question

Ammonia may be oxidized to ni trogen monoxide in the presence of a catalyst according to th e equation as:
4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O
If 27L of reactants are consumed, what volume of ni trogen monoxide is produced at the same temperature and pressure?

Answer 1

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O
        4 vol.  5 vol.          4 vol.
Volume of reactants = 4 vol. of ammonia + 5 vol. of oxygen = 9 vol. .
9 vol. of reactants produces 4 vol. of Nitric oxide
Therefore, 27 vol. of reactants will produce 4 x 27 lit/9 =
12 litres of Nitric oxide.
