Question: Problem 3 : Ammonia and Oxygen react as follows. N H 3 + 1 O 2 2 N O 2 + 3 H 2 O

Problem 3: Ammonia and Oxygen react as follows.
NH3+1O22NO2+3H2O
(a) You are required to determine the stoichiometry {1,2,3} by doing atomic balances and
writing this as a linear system of equations A=b, where A-=33 matrix; b-=
31, and =31(unknowns). Show details of your system of equations.
(b) Solve the system by hand using Gaussian Elimination. [Hint: to do an atomic balance on
an atom say N, you need to count the number of N atoms on both sides of the chemical
reaction.]
