The mass of oxygen consumed is calculate as follows

write the equation for reaction

4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O

calculate the moles of ammonia = mass/molar mass

= 6.3 g / 17 g/mol = 0.37moles

by use of mole ratio between NH3 to O2 which is 4:5 the moles of O2 is therefore = 0.37 x5/4 = 0.463 moles

mass of O2 consumed is therefore = moles xmolar mass

= 0.463 moles x 32 g/mol = 14.82 grams
