Question

S + 6 HNO3 → H2SO4 + 6 NO2 + 2 H2O

In the above equation, how many grams of water can be made when 5.6 moles of HNO3 are consumed?

Answer 1

33.63 g H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

The mole ratio of HNO₃ and H₂O is 6 : 2

Hence, 16.9 moles of HNO₃ will produce = 2/6×5.6 = 1.86 moles of H₂O

Also,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 1.86 mol × 18.02 g/mol

Mass = 33.63 g H₂O
