Answer to Question #12742 in Chemistry for Molly

Question

Considering the limiting reactant, what is the volume of NO gas produced from 60.0 L of ammonia gas and 50.0 L of oxygen gas? (Assume constant conditions.)


4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)

Answer 1

Volume of reactants is proportional to coefficient in equation. So for
this reaction we need correlation of volumes NH3 : O2 like 4:5 and we have
60:50,so NH3 is in excess,and O2 is limiting reactant
