Question:

In the reaction, $4NH_3 (g) + 5O_2 \rightarrow 4NO(g) + 6H_2O (I)$ When 1 mole of ammonia and 1 mole of $O_2$ are made to react to completion, then

Updated On: May 5, 2024
  • 1.0 mole of $H_2O$ is produced
  • 1.0 mole of NO will be produced
  • all the oxygen will be consumed
  • all the ammonia will be consumed

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is– all the oxygen will be consumed

The chemical reactions would be – 

4NH3 + 5O2 →  4NO + 6H2O

Here, 5 mole of Oxygen = 4 mole of Ammonia

So, 1 mole of O2 = 4/5 = 0.8 mole of NH3

By reversing it one can say, 1 mole of NH3 requires 5/4 = 1.25 mole of O2

So, when a reaction between one mole of ammonia and one mole of oxygen is brought to a successful conclusion, all of the oxygen is then consumed.

The charge of nitrogen in ammonia increases from -3 to +2, and the charge of oxygen falls from 0 to -2, making the equation a form of redox reaction. Any elemental compound or atom has an oxidation state of zero. Redox reactions are those in which oxidation and reduction both take place concurrently. Ammonia is undergoing oxidation in this instance, whereas oxygen is undergoing reduction.

Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Chemistry is a vast subject and for understanding its significance we can take help of following points:

  • Chemistry plays an important role in understanding various subjects like physics, geology and biology.
  • Chemistry is a core branch of science that explains us about the various compositional properties and interaction of matter. It also helps to understand various chemical reactions.
  • Chemistry is important in order to understand the behaviour of fertilizers, alkenes, acids, salts, dyes, polymers, drugs, soaps and alloys in organic and inorganic chemistry.
  • Chemistry plays an important role in various fields like healthcare, industrial, research, food, and farm activities.

Classification of Matter

There are two ways of classifying the matter:

(A) Physical Classification:

Matter can exist in three physical states:

  1. Solids - have definite volume and definite shape
  2. Liquids - have definite volume but not definite shape.
  3. Gases - have neither definite volume nor definite shape.

(B) Chemical Classification:

Based upon the composition, matter can be divided into two main types:

  1. Pure Substances are defined as a single substance (or matter) which cannot be separated by simple physical methods. Pure substances can be further classified as (i) Elements (ii) Compounds
  2. Mixtures are the combination of two or more elements or compounds which are not chemically combined together and may also be present in any proportion.
