Ammonia reacts with O2 to form either NO(g) or NO2(g) according to these unbalanced equations: NH3 (g) + O2 (g) → NO (g) + H2O (g) NH3 (g) + O2 (g) → NO2 (g) + H2O (g) In a certain experiment 2.00 moles of NH3(g) and 10.00 moles of O2 (g) are contained in a closed flask. After the reaction is complete, 6.75 moles of O2(g) remains. Calculate the number of moles of NO(g) in the product mixture: (Hint:You cannot do this problem by adding the balanced equations because you cannot assume that the two reactions will occur with equal probability.)

Question

Ammonia reacts with O2 to form either NO(g) or NO2(g) according to these unbalanced equations:

NH3 (g) + O2 (g) → NO (g) + H2O (g)

NH3 (g) + O2 (g) → NO2 (g) + H2O (g)

In a certain experiment 2.00 moles of NH3(g) and 10.00 moles of O2 (g) are contained in a closed flask. After the reaction is complete, 6.75 moles of O2(g) remains. Calculate the number of moles of NO(g) in the product mixture: (Hint:You cannot do this problem by adding the balanced equations because you cannot assume that the two reactions will occur with equal probability.)
