Chapter 5, Problem 5.25QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

How many volume of $\text{NO}$ is obtained at the same temperature and pressure when one volume of ammonia is burnt in presence of oxygen has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Ammonia burns in oxygen to give nitric oxide and water vapor.  At the same temperature and pressure, and condition we suppose these to perform as perfect gases their volumes will be indistinguishable.  Avogadro’s law states that, the volume of a gas is openly comparative to the number of moles of gas at invariable temperature and pressure.

The balanced equation is:

${\text{4NH}}_{\text{3}}{}_{\text{(g)}}{\text{ + 5O}}_{\text{2}}{}_{\text{(g)}}\to {\text{4NO}}_{\text{(g)}}{\text{ + 6H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{(g)}}$
