Question

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?
O 200.00 mol
200.09 mol
450.00 mol
O 450.02 mol

Answer 1

200.00 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Moles of nitric acid produced = ?

Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 300.00 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3NO₂ + H₂O → 2HNO₃ + NO

Now we will compare the moles of nirtic acid with nitrogen dioxide.

NO₂ : HNO₃

3 : 2

300.00 : 2/3×300 = 199.99 mol

Nearest to 0.01:

200.00 mol
