Ammonia can be converted to nitric acid. One step in that process is the conversion of NH3 to NO:
4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)
This reaction was studied by reacting 4.50 g of NH3 with 3.20 g of O2. After the reaction reached completion, 2.40 g of NO and 2.16 g of O2 were produced, and 3.14 g of NH3 remained. Show how is this consistent with the law of conservation of mass.
