Question

For the balanced equation shown below,

2N₂O5 → 4NO2 + O₂

how many moles of NO2 will react with 0.8861 moles of N₂O5?​

Answer 1

This answer makes an assumption noted in the Explanation.

1.772 moles of NO2

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced equation tells us that NO2 does not react with N2O5. As written, the answer to the question is zero.

If the question is how many moles of NO2 are produced by 0.8861 moles of N2O5, then we can note that the equation promises us 4 moles NO2 per 2 moles N2O5. That's a molar ratio of 4:2 (moles NO2/moles N2O5).

(0.8861 moles N2O5)*(4:2 (moles NO2/moles N2O5)) = 1.772 moles of NO2
