### Chapter 4 - Stoichiometry: Quantitative Information

#### Ammonia Gas Preparation

Ammonia gas can be prepared by the reaction of a metal oxide, such as calcium oxide, with ammonium chloride:

\[ \text{CaO(s)} + 2 \text{NH}_4\text{Cl(s)} \rightarrow 2 \text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(g)} + \text{CaCl}_2\text{(s)} \]

#### Problem Statement

If 227 g of CaO and 401 g of NH₄Cl are mixed, determine the following:

1. **Limiting Reactant:** Identify the reactant that will be completely consumed and limit the amount of product formed.

   *Input box for the answer*

2. **Mass of NH₃ Produced:** Calculate the mass of ammonia (\(\text{NH}_3\)) that can be produced in the reaction.

   *Input box for the result in grams*
