Question

How many total moles of reactants and how many total moles of products are in the reaction 2NO, (g) +

energy = 2NO (g) + 02 (g)?

Answer 1

moles reactant = 2, moles of products = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The reactants are on the left side of the equation. Although, energy (heat) is a reactant it will not factor into the calculation for moles. The coefficient is the number of moles for each substances. So for the reactant side NO would have 2 moles because the coefficient is 2. Using the same logic, NO on the product side will have 2 moles and O2 will be 1 mole. O2 has one mole because it is implied that you know anything multipled by one is the same number. So 1 mole of O2 is written as O2 and not 1 O2.
