Question

2. How many moles of NO3, will be produced with this amount of oxygen
gas?

Answer 1

The given question is an incomplete question, the complete question is given below.

Use this equation to answer the questions that follow.

`3O_2(g)+N_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_3(g)`

5 moles of oxygen gas are present. How many moles of
`NO_3` will be produced with this amount of oxygen gas?

Answer : The moles of
`NO_3` produced will be 3.33 moles.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of oxygen gas = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of
`NO_3`.

The given balanced chemical equation is:

`3O_2(g)+N_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_3(g)`

From the balanced chemical equation we conclude that,

As, 3 moles of
`O_2` gas react to produces 2 moles of
`NO_3` gas

So, 5 moles of
`O_2` gas react to produces
`(2)/(3)* 5=3.33` moles of
`NO_3` gas

Therefore, the moles of
`NO_3` produced will be 3.33 moles.
