The gas has already created enough pressure to become a gas, which is the most expandable it could turn in to. Thats what i think, hope it helps.
3Zn + 8HNO3 ---> 3Zn(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO IF IT IS COLD AND DILUT NITRIC ACID .
IF IT IS HOT AND CONCENTRATED THEN:
Zn+ 4HNO3 ---> Zn(NO3)2 +2H2O +2NO2
Answer:
47.8 g
Explanation:
Remember the equation for percent yield:
% yield = actual / theoretical
We're given two of the values in the question, so plug n' play:
0.945 = 45.2 / theoretical
theoretical = 47.8 g
Keep in mind you can use mass here without converting to moles because we're working with products only. If you were given a mass of reactants, you would need to convert to moles and using a balanced chemical equation find the corresponding moles of product produced.
