Question 4

30.0 cm3 of oxygen gas (MW 32.00,SG 1.141) is reacted with 30.0 cm 3 of
ammonia(MW 17.03,SG 0.682) to produce nitric oxide(MW 30.01,SG 1.340) and
water(MW 18.02,SG 1.00).The yield of nitroc oxide is found to be 35 %.

i.Write the balanced stoichiometric equation of the reaction.

5 3
O2 + NH3 NO + H2O
4 2

ii.Determine the limiting reactant

For oxygen,


SG=

1.141=
1.205

kg

m3

m

V

kg
=(1.375 m3 ) (3

=0.04125 g

M
n=
MM
(0.04125 g)
= (32.00 g )
mol

=1.2891 x 10-3 mol

For ammonia,


SG= r


0.682=
1.205 kg/m 3

kg
=0.82181
m3

m
=
V

m= V

=(0.82181 kg/m3) x (3 x 10-5 m3 )

=2.465 x 10-5 kg

=0.02465 g

M
n= MM

0.02465 g
= 17.03 g/mol

=1.447 x 10-3 mol


To find limiting reactant,

Oxygen,

1.2891 x 103 mol


5 /4

=1.03128 x 10-3 mol

Ammonia,

1.447 x 103
mol
1

= 1.447 x 10-3 mol

So,the limiting reactant is oxygen.

iii.Calculate the percentage of the excess reactant.

Mol of oxygen feed = 1.2891 x 10-3 mol

Mol of ammonia feed = 1.447 x 10-3 mol

1 mol ammonia consumed


Mol ammonia stoichiometry = mol oxygen feed x (5/4 mol oxygen consumed )

=1.2891 x 10-3 x 4/5

=1.03128 x 10 -3 mol

( 1.447 x 1031.03128 x 103 ) mol


% excess of ammonia = ( 1.03128 x 103) mol x 100%

= 40.31 %
iv.Calculate the mass(in gram) of nitric oxide and water produced from the
reaction

For nitric oxide,

mol product
yield= x 100
mol limiting reactant

n NO
0.35 = 1.03128 x 103

n NO=3.609 x 10-4 mol

kg
30.0 mol x (3.609 x 10-4 mol ) = 0.01083 g

For water,

100 35 = 65

5/4 oxygen : 3/2 water

1.2891 x 10-3 mol : 1.2891 x 10-3 mol x 6/5

n water
0.65 = 1.547 x 10
3

n water = 1.006 x 10-3 mol

g
18 mol x (1.006 x 10-3 mol ) = 0.0181 g
