Question 7(iii)

Ammonia burns in oxygen as shown below.

4NH3 + 3O2 ⟶ 2N2 + 6H2O

If 240 cc of ammonia is burnt in 300 cc of oxygen, find out the composition of the resultant gaseous mixture at room temperature.

Answer

According to the given equation:

For N2

4 vol. of NH3 produce 2 vol. of N2

∴ 240 cc of NH3 will produce = 2×2404\dfrac{2 \times 240}{4} = 120 cc of N2

For O2

4 vol. of NH3 reacts with 3 vol. of O2

∴ 240 cc of NH3 will react with = 3×2404\dfrac{3 \times 240}{4} = 180 cc of O2.

Amount of unused Oxygen = 300 cc - 180 cc = 120 cc

Hence, composition of the resultant gaseous mixture at room temperature is 120 cc of O2 + 120 cc of N2
