Ammonia is burned to form nitric oxide in the following reaction: 4NH, + 50, → 4NO + 6H20 a. Calculate the ratio (Ib-mole O; consumed/lb-mole NO generated). b. If ammonia is fed to a continuous reactor at a rate of 100.0 kmol NH/h, what oxygen feed rate (kmol/h) would correspond to a stoichiometric proportion? c. If 50.0 kg of ammonia and 100.0 kg of oxygen are fed to a batch reactor, determine the limiting reactant, the percentage by which the other reactant is in excess, and mass of NO produced (kg) if the reaction proceeds to completion.
