The first step in the Ostwald process for manufacturing

The first step in the Ostwald process for manufacturing nitric acid is the reaction between ammonia and oxygen described by the equation 4NH3 +502 4NO + 6H₂O. Use this equation to answer the following three questions. 19. How many moles of ammonia will react with 95.3 moles of oxygen? 20. How many moles of nitrogen monoxide will result from the reaction of 2.89 moles of ammonia? 21. If 3.35 moles of water is produced, how many moles of nitrogen monoxide will also be produced? 22. Magnesium hydroxide is formed from the reaction of magnesium oxide and water. How many moles of magnesium oxide are needed to form 0.884 moles of magnesium hydroxide, when the oxide is added to excess water?
