A reaction uses 4.5 grams of oxygen and an excess of nitrogen. How many grams of dinitrogen pentoxide are produced?
5O2 + 2N2 ==> 2N2O5
mols O2 = grams/molar mass = ?
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols O2 to mols N2O5
Now convert mols N2O5 to grams with g = mols x molar mass = ?
To determine the mass of dinitrogen pentoxide produced, we need to understand the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. Without that information, it is not possible to provide an answer.
However, I can guide you through the steps to calculate the mass of any compound produced in a chemical reaction if you provide the balanced equation.
If you already have the balanced chemical equation, please share it, and I'll be happy to assist you further.
