Question

If 16.4 grams of calcium nitrate is heated as shown in the reaction:

2Ca(NO3)2 -> 2CaO + 4NO2 + O2.

Calculate the volume of nitrogen dioxide produced at STP.​

Answer 1

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

you first have to find the number of moles of nitrogen dioxide by using the number of moles for calcium nitrate and the mole to mole ratios

number of moles of calcium nitrate=mass/mm

=16.4/102

=0.16g/mol

then you use the mole to mole ratios

2 : 4

0.16: x

2x/2=0.64/2

x=0.32g/moles of nitrogen dioxide

then you use the formula for the volume

v=22.4n

=22.4×0.32

=7.2
