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

68 g       160 g                           120 g         108 g     

57.7         57.7                                                  ??

here limiting reagent is O2. so product formed based on that.

160 g O2 --------------->   108 g of H2O

57.7 g O2 --------------->   ??

mass of H2O produced = 57.7 x 108 / 160 = 39.0 g

mass of H2O = 39.0 g
