In the industrial Ostwald process for manufacturing nitric acid, ammonia gas is oxidized by oxygen gas according to the following equation:
4NH3(g)+5O2(g)→4NO(g)+6H2O(g) 4\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 5\text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 4\text{NO}\text{(g)} + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}\text{(g)} 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)→4NO(g)+6H2O(g)What volume of oxygen, in cm3\text{cm}^3cm3, would react completely with 240 cm3 of ammonia gas if both gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure?
