CHM 101 Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions Objective Question

Question

In the reaction 4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(g), determine the limiting reagent if 0.34 g of ammonia combines with 1.00 g of oxygen.
Options
A NH₃ is limiting
B O₂ is limiting
Correct Answer
C Both are limiting
D Neither is limiting
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The notes indicate that oxygen is the limiting reagent in this case, leading to 0.60 g NO and 0.54 g H₂O produced.
