Question

2 upper N upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow 2 upper N upper o (g) plus upper O subscript 2 (g). Second: 2 upper N upper O (g) right arrow upper N subscript 2 (g) plus upper O subscript 2 (g). Third: upper N subscript 2 (g) plus 2 upper O subscript 2 (g) right arrow upper N subscript 2 upper O subscript 4 (g). What is the equation for the overall reaction obtained by adding these equations?

Answer 1

The equation for the overall reaction obtained by adding these equations is;  2NO₂(g) ⇒ N₂O₄(g)

How to simplify chemical equations?

We are given equations;

2NO₂(g) ----> 2NO(g) + O₂(g)   ---(1)

2NO(g) -----> N₂(g) + O₂(g)   -----(2)

N₂(g) + 2O₂(g) ----> N₂O₄(g)   -----(3)

Add eq 1 and eq 2 to get;

2NO₂(g) + 2NO(g) ⇒ 2NO(g) + O₂(g) + N₂(g) + O₂(g)

2NO will cancel out to get;

2NO₂(g) ⇒ N₂(g) + 2O₂(g)   -----(4)

Add eq 3 to eq 4 to get;

N₂(g) + 2O₂(g) + 2NO₂(g) ⇒ N₂O₄(g) + N₂(g) + 2O₂(g)

This will reduce to;

2NO₂(g) ⇒ N₂O₄(g)

The correct question is;

Consider the chemical equations shown here.

2NO₂(g) ----> 2NO(g) + O₂(g)

2NO(g) -----> N₂(g) + O₂(g)

N₂(g) + 2O(g) ----> N₂O₄(g)
