Show work-Oswald process - mass and how much oxygen required?

9) Industrially, nitric acid (HNO3) is produced by the Oswald process represented by the following - what mass of NH3 is needed to produce 5 tones of HNO3? How much Oxygen is required?
4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO = 6H20
2NO + O2 = 2NO2
2NO2 + H2O = HNO3 + HNO2
