Solution
The correct option is A 0.8
4NH3(g)+5O2(g)→4NO(g)+6H2O(l)
According to the given equation:
1 mole of NH3 (on complete reaction) gives 1 mole NO. Similarly, 1 mole of O2 (on complete reaction) gives 45 , i.e. ,0.8 mole NO. Thus, O2 will be limiting reactant and actual amount of NO formed in the reaction will be =0.8mole
