Question
Nitric acid is a key industrial chemical, largely used to make fertilizers and explosives. The first step in its synthesis is the oxidation of ammonia. In this reaction,
gaseous ammonia reacts with dioxygen gas to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and water.
Suppose a chemical engineer studying a new catalyst for the oxidation of ammonia reaction finds that 299. liters per second of dioxygen are consumed when the
reaction is run at 183. °℃ and the dioxygen is supplied at 0.39 atm. Calculate the rate at which nitrogen monoxide is being produced. Give your answer in
kilograms per second. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
