Question

Nitrogen dioxide from exhaust reacts with oxygen to form ozone.

NO₂(g) + O₂(g) → NO(g) + O₃(g)
What mass of ozone could be formed from 3.97 g NO₂?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 4.14 g of O₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass of nitrogen dioxide = 3.97 g

mass of ozone = x g

Reaction

NO₂ (g) + O₂ (g) ⇒ NO (g) + O₃ (g)

- Check that that reaction is balanced

Reactants Elements Products

1 N 1

4 O 4

This reaction is balanced

- Calculate the molecular mass of NO₂ and O₃

NO₂ = 14 + 32 = 46 g

O₃ = 48 g

- Calculate the mass of Ozone formed.

46 g of NO₂ ------------------ 48 g of O₃

3.97 gof NO₂ ---------------- x

x = (3.97 x 48 ) / 46

x = 190.56 / 46

x = 4.14 g of O₃
