2NO2. how many grams of NO2 will be produced with 5.00 moles of NO React? what would the working out of this be?
I assume the balanced reaction is
2NO + O2 -> 2NO2
You can make 5.0 moles of NO2 with 5.0 moles of NO.
To calculate the grams of NO2 produced from 5.00 moles of NO, you need to use the balanced chemical equation and the molar masses of the substances involved.
The balanced equation for the reaction is:
2 NO + O2 -> 2 NO2
From the equation, you can see that 2 moles of NO reacts to produce 2 moles of NO2.
Now, you can set up a ratio using the coefficients of the balanced equation:
2 moles of NO reacts to produce 2 moles of NO2
5.00 moles of NO reacts to produce X moles of NO2 (we need to find X)
Using this ratio, you can set up a proportion:
2 moles of NO / 2 moles of NO2 = 5.00 moles of NO / X moles of NO2
Next, cross-multiply and solve for X:
2X = (2 moles of NO2) * (5.00 moles of NO)
2X = 10.00 moles of NO2
X = 10.00 moles of NO2
Finally, to convert moles of NO2 to grams, you need to multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of NO2, which is approximately 46.01 g/mol.
Grams of NO2 = (10.00 moles of NO2) * (46.01 g/mol)
