Take the reaction: NH3 + O2   NO + H2O. In an experiment, 3.25 g of NH3 are
allowed to react with 3.50 g of O2.  Note: Balance the equation first. Show your solution.
Atomic masses:
N=14.01 amu
H=1.01 amu
O=16.0 amu

14.01 + (1.01 x 3) = 17.04 NH3

1 mol NH 3
3.25 g NH3 x 17.04 g NH 3 = 0.19 mol NH3
1 mol O2
3.50 g O2 x 16.0 g O 2 = 0.22 mol O2
1 mol O2
0.19 mol NH3 x 1mol NH 3 = 0.19 mol O2

a. Which reactant is the limiting reagent?

The limiting reagent is NH3

b. How much of the excess reactant remains after the reaction?

The excess reactant remains after the reaction is 0.03 O2
