Given the following equation:
4NH3 + 5O2 → 6H2O + 4NO
During the combustion of NH3, there is an increase in the amount of oxygen present, from 5 to 20 moles while the amount of NH3 remains unchanged. Given this change in oxygen, what can we say about this chemical reaction?
A) An increase in the amount of oxygen will cause an increase in both products.
B) There will be an excess of oxygen and therefore the amount of NO produced will increase to 16 moles.
C) The amount of NO produced will remain constant in the reaction because oxygen is the limiting reactant.
D) The ratio of NH3 to NO produced will remain constant since NH3 is the limiting reactant.
