Answer:

11.34 grams of nitrogen monoxide can be formed.

The limiting reactant is O2. N2 is in excess. There will remain 4.56 grams N2.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas = 9.86 grams

Molar mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 28.0 g/mol

Mass of oxygen gas (O2) = 6.06 grams

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

nitrogen(g) + oxygen(g) → nitrogen monoxide(g)

N2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles N2 = 9.86 grams / 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.352 moles

Moles O2 = 6.06 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.189 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol N2 we need 1 moles O2 to produce 2 moles NO

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.189 moles).

N2 is in excess. There will react 0.189 moles

There will remain 0.352 - 0.189 = 0.163 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of excess

Mass N2 = 0.163 moles * 28.0 g/mol

Mass N2 = 4.56 grams

Step 6: Calculate moles NO

For 1 mol N2 we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles NO

For 0.189 moles O2 we'll have 2* 0.189 = 0.378  moles NO

Step 7: Calculate mass NO

Mass NO = moles NO * molar mass NO

Mass NO = 0.378 moles * 30.01 g/mol

Mass NO = 11.34 grams

11.34 grams of nitrogen monoxide can be formed.

The limiting reactant is O2. N2 is in excess. There will remain 4.56 grams N2.
