Question

Nitrogen dioxide gas is obtained by the reaction of nitrogen monoxide gas and oxygen gas . Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction?

Answer 1

Answer: The equation is written below.

Explanation:

For the formation of nitrogen dioxide, the reactants used are nitrogen monoxide and oxygen gas.

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is given as:

$2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of nitrogen monoxide gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide gas.
