. What mass of oxygen gas is consumed by the reaction of 9.98 g of ammonia?
Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer 1

9.98 g of NH₃ reacts with 23.4 g of O₂ (up to 3 significant figure).

What is Significant figures ?

The digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit.

The given chemical equation ;

4NH₃ + 5O₂ ---> 4NO + 6H₂O

Therefore,

4 moles of NH₃ reacts with 5 moles of O₂.

i.e,

68 g of NH₃ reacts with 160g of O₂.

Therefore,

9.98 g of NH₃ reacts with :

      = 160/68 x 9.98

      = 23.4 g of O₂ (up to 3 significant figure)
