1. If 3.00g of ammonia reacts with 40.00g of oxygen, what is the theoretical yield of nitrogen monoxide?
2. If only 10.00g of nitrogen monoxide was isolated from the products, what was the percent yield of nitrogen monoxide?

The theoretical yield of nitrogen monoxide = 5.28 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ammonia = 3.00 grams

Molar mass NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

mass of oxygen = 40.00 grams

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4NH3 + 5O2 →  4NO + 6H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles NH3 = 3.00 grams / 17.02 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.176 moles

Moles O2 = 40.00 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles O2 = 1.25 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

For 4 moles NH3 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 4 moles NO and 6 moles H2O

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.176 moles)

O2 is in excess. There will react 5/4 * 0.176 = 0.220 moles

There will remain 1.25 - 0.22 = 1.03 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles NO

For 4 moles NH3 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 4 moles NO and 6 moles H2O

For 0.176 moles NH3 we'll have 0.176 moles NO

Step 6: Calculate theoretical yield of NO

Mass NO = moles NO * molar mass NO

Mass NO = 0.176 moles * 30.01 g/mol

Mass NO = 5.28 grams

Step 7: Calculate percent yield

% yield = (10.00 grams / 5.28 grams) *100 %

% yield = 189 %

⇒ Since the theoretical yield is less than 10.0 grams. I think the data are not correct ( may be 30.00 grams of NH3)

according to the u.s. department of agriculture, the label of "certified organic" comes with a set of highly regulated standards for environmental stewardship and resource conservation. some of these include maintenance and improvement of soil quality, prevention of ground and surface water contamination, greenhouse gas regulation, encouragement of biodiversity and conservation of water and energy (see references 1). organic practices integrate natural methods such as mulching, plant diversity, native and adapted plants, crop rotation and the introduction of beneficial insects to control pests without synthetic pesticides.

environmental implications of pesticides

synthetic pesticides ensure high crop yields. while effective in achieving this goal, pesticides contaminate soil, air, ground and surface water, as well as the plants and animals that come into contact with these contaminated sources. freshwater and marine organisms are particularly susceptible to pesticides through agricultural runoff. pesticides also reduce soil fertility (necessitating the use of synthetic fertilizers) and can travel far from the original source, contaminating water and air hundreds of miles from the location of application (see references 2).

health implications of organics

although a subject of particular debate, many recent findings show that organic food is healthier than conventionally grown food. according to the usda, an extensive european union-funded study found that organically grown foods contain more beneficial compounds, such as the vitamins and antioxidants needed to combat many diseases (see references 5). organic milk, meat and eggs are regulated to ensure they are free of hormones administered to conventional livestock and poultry.

health implications of pesticides

pesticides affect human health in three ways: through skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. acute and long-term exposure to pesticides can cause serious health problems for farmers who apply them. the majority of other people are affected by drinking contaminated water and eating contaminated marine life (see references 3). pesticides have been linked to neurological disorders, endocrine and reproductive disorders, immune system deficiencies and cancer. according to the world health organization, acute pesticide poisoning (app) is responsible for significant annual mortality, especially in developing nations (see references 4).

other important considerations

not every small farm or business owner can afford the costly certification process required to be considered "certified organic," even if the farm is not using chemicals. "transitional" farms include those that once used chemicals and are now transitioning to organic-only production. in addition, though organic farming methods offer obvious environmental benefit, an organic apple shipped from around the world creates a different set of environmental problems. locally grown food (particularly locally grown, organic food) is key in sustainable food production.

the food using pesticides in the future will harm you by giving you diseases like cancer or something since they have things that we should not eat in it like chemicals or pesticides. that is why organic food is more expensive because they take the time to make it right and healthy for you to eat.
