A reaction for the reduction of copper is shown below (as an unbalanced reaction - that's how I will almost always give you reactions.  ALWAYS check to see if a reaction is balanced before you use it.  You balanced it in the last question; make sure you have that right before you start calculating!), you are given 3.000 tonnes (3.000x103 kg) of copper oxide.  You check and find that you have 404.9 kg of ammonia gas available to you.

What mass (in kilograms) of copper(II) oxide can react with this much ammonia? 

   CuO(s)  +  NH3(g)  →  Cu(s)  +  H2O(g)  +  N2(g)
