The equation given in the question is not directly relevant to the problem, so it can be ignored. Instead, we can use the stoichiometry of the balanced equation given in the problem to determine the amount of nitrogen dioxide produced from 14 g of nitrogen:

1 mol of nitrogen = 28.0 g
1 mol of nitrogen dioxide = 46.0 g

So, using the given equation, we can set up a proportion:

14 g of nitrogen / 28.0 g/mol = x g of nitrogen dioxide / 46.0 g/mol

Solving for x, we get:

x = (14 g) * (46.0 g/mol) / (28.0 g/mol) = 23 g

Therefore, the answer is B) 46.

Use the Equation NH3 + O2 → NO + H2O

Use the Equation NH₃ + O₂ → NO + H₂O
