Gaseous ammonia is injected into the exhaust stream of a coal- burning power plant to reduce the pollutant NO to N2 accord- ing to the reaction: 4 NH3(g) + 4 NO(8) + O:(g) → 4 N2(8) + 6 H¿O(g) Suppose that the exhaust stream of a power plant has a flow rate of 335 L/s at a temperature of 955 K, and that the exhaust con- tains a partial pressure of NO of 22.4 torr. What should be the flow rate of ammonia delivered at 755 torr and 298 K into the stream to react completely with the NO if the ammonia is 65.2% pure (by volume)?

Question
Gaseous ammonia is injected into the exhaust stream of a coal-
burning power plant to reduce the pollutant NO to N2 accord-
ing to the reaction:
4 NH3(g) + 4 NO(8) + O:(g) → 4 N2(8) + 6 H¿O(g)
Suppose that the exhaust stream of a power plant has a flow rate
of 335 L/s at a temperature of 955 K, and that the exhaust con-
tains a partial pressure of NO of 22.4 torr. What should be the
flow rate of ammonia delivered at 755 torr and 298 K into the
stream to react completely with the NO if the ammonia is 65.2%
pure (by volume)?
