Assuming that the gases in this reaction are ideal gas, then we can use the conversion from L to moles which is 1 mol of ideal gas is equal to 22.4 L. We calculate as follows:
538 L NO2 ( 1 mol / 22.4L ) ( 1 mol NO / 3 mol NO2 ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 179.33 L NO is produced</span>
You did not provide the statements but a possible answer might be that the current atomic theory is sound and that technology that could challenge it does not exist at this time. There is no way to change it because no research can be done about it.
