Question 39967

Environmental Engineering

\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}+2 \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
How many kg of oxygen is required for the complete conversion of 49 kg ofammonia (NH4-N) to nitrate (NO3 -N)? Remember that NH4-N is measured"as N", so you can assume 14 g NH4-N per mole of NH4*.
