- (a) O_2 , (b) 1.73 g NO and 1.55 g H_2O , (c) 0.932 g of NH_3 , (d) yes, the results are consistent with law of conservation of mass.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

$4NH_3+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO+6H_2O$

From balanced equation, ammonia and oxygen react in 4:5 mole ratio means 4 moles of ammonia reacts with 5 moles of oxygen to give the products.

(a) Let's calculate the moles of the reactants on dividing the grams by molar masses as:

For ammonia, $1.90gNH_3(\frac{1mole}{17g})$ = 0.112 mole

For oxygen, $2.30gO_2(\frac{1mole}{32g})$ = 0.0719 mole

From mole ratio, we need more moles of oxygen as compared to oxygen but from calculations the moles of oxygen are less than ammonia. So, oxygen is limiting reactant.

(b) To calculate the grams of each product formed we would calculate their moles first from limiting reactant that is oxygen and then multiply by their respective molar masses to convert the moles to grams as:

For grams of NO:

$0.0719moleO_2(\frac{4moleNO}{5moleO_2})(\frac{30gNO}{1moleNO})$ = 1.73 g of NO

For grams of H_2O :

$0.0719moleO_2(\frac{6moleH_2O}{5moleO_2})(\frac{18gH_2O}{1moleH_2O})$ = 1.55 g of H_2O

So, 1.73 grams of NO and 1.55 grams of H_2O would formed.

$0.0719moleO_2(\frac{4moleNH_3}{5moleO_2})$

= 0.0572 mole NH_3

Excess moles of ammonia = 0.112 - 0.0572 = 0.0548 mole

Now let's convert these excess moles of ammonia to grams on multiplying by molar mass:

$0.0548moleNH_3(\frac{17g}{1mole})$

= 0.932 g NH_3

So, after reaction when all the oxygen is used then 0.932 grams of ammonia would still be remaining.

(d) mass of reactants = mass of products + remaining mass of excess reactant

Let's plug in the values in it:

mass of reactants = 1.90 g + 2.30 g = 4.2 g

mass of products + remaining mass of excess reactant = 1.73 g + 1.55 g + 0.932 g

= 4.2 g

So, the results are consistent with law of conservation of mass.

For a research project, a student decided to test the effect of the lead(ii) ion (pb2+) on the ability of salmon eggs to hatch. this ion was obtainable from the water‐soluble salt, lead(ii) nitrate, which the student decided to make by the following reaction. pbo(s) + 2 hno3(aq) → pb(no3)2(aq) + h2o losses of product for various reasons were expected, and a yield of 86.0% was expected. in order to have 5.00 g of product at this yield, how many grams of pbo should be reacted? (assume that sufficient nitric acid, hno3, would be used.)
