The first step in the Ostwald process for producing nitric acid is as follows: 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g). If the reaction of 15.0 g of ammonia with 15.0 g of oxygen gas yields 8.70 g of nitric oxide, what is the percent yield of this reaction? A. 29.0% B. 32.9%   C. 49.5% D. 61.8% E. 77.3%
