Question

The Ostwald process converts ammonia (NH3) to nitric oxide (NO) by reaction with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst at high temperatures. In a test of the process a reaction vessel is initially charged with 3.90 mol NH3(g) and 4.90 mol O2(g), sealed, and heated at a fixed high temperature. When equilibrium is established the reaction mixture is analyzed and found to contain 2.90 mol NO(g). What is the quantity of NH3(g) in the equilibrium reaction mixture?
4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)
A) 1.00 mol NH3(g)
B) 6.80 mol NH3(g)
C) 3.90 mol NH3(g)
D) 1.28 mol NH3(g)
E) 2.00 mol NH3(g)
