Question

Nitrogen dioxide, a major air pollutant, can be produced by the combustion of nitrogen oxide as shown. 2NO + O2 Right arrow. 2NO2 In a plant, 1,500 kg of nitrogen oxide is consumed per day to produce 1,500 kg of nitrogen dioxide per day. What is the percent yield? Use Percent yield equals StartFraction actual yield over theoretical yield EndFraction times 100.. 21.7% 32.6% 43.5% 65.2% Mark this and return Save and Exit Next Submit

Answer 1

the person above me is correct, the answer for this is 65.2% or option D!

Step-by-step explanation:

thank you person above me! i got a 100% on the test! :D

Answer 2

65.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

`$2NO + O_2 \rightarrow 2NO_2$`

Therefore, 60 g of nitrogen oxide will produce 92 g of nitrogen dioxide

or 60 kg of nitrogen oxide will produce 92 kg of nitrogen dioxide

or 1500 kg of nitrogen oxide will produce
`2300\ kg` of nitrogen dioxide

Therefore the percentage yield = (Actual yield / Expected yield) x 100

percentage yield =
`$(1500)/(2300) * 100$`

Percentage yield = 65.217 %
