Question

What is the limiting reactant if 10 moles of NH3 react with 10.0 moles of NO? The desired product is nitrogen gas. 4NH3 + 6NO —> 5N2 + 6H20

Answer 1

Molar mass

$N H_ 3 = 17 ; O_ 2 = 32 , N O = 26 ; H_ 2 O = 18$

NH3 is the limiting reagent

From the balanced equation, we can see that the ratio of NH3 to NO is 4:6
