6 volumes of NO

Explanation:

First, let us write a balanced equation for the reaction between between ammonia and oxygen to nitric oxide and water vapour. This is illustrated below:

4NH3 + 5O2 - > 4NO + 6H2O

From the balanced equation,

4 volumes of NH3 produced 4 volumes of NO.

Therefore, 6 volumes of NH3 will also produce 6 volumes of NO.
