Acid rain can be destructive to both the natural environment and human-made structures. The equation below shows a reaction that occurs that may lead to the formation of acid rain. 3NO2 + H2O 2HNO3 + NO How many moles (precise to the nearest 0.01 mol) of nitric acid are produced from 300.00 mol of nitrogen dioxide? 200.00 mol 200.09 mol 450.00 mol 450.02 mol

Answer;

= 200.00 moles

Explanation;

From the equation;

3NO2 + H2O → 2HNO3 + NO

The mole ratio of Nitrogen dioxide to nitric acid is 3 : 2; this means that for every 3 moles of nitrogen dioxide used in the reaction, 2 moles of nitric acid are produced.

Therefore; 300 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce;

= (300/3) × 2

= 200 moles of Nitric acid.

300 moles of nitrogen dioxide will produce 200.00 moles of nitric acid.
