The molar mass of NO₂ is 46.0 g/mol
The molar mass of Pb (NO₃)₂ is 331.2 g/mol
First there is a need to find the number of moles of NO₂ via the stoichiometry of reaction:
2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO (s) + 4NO₂ (g) + 02 (g)
2 × 331.2 g = 4 × 46.0 g
16.87 g = x (mass of NO₂)
mass of NO₂ = 16.87 × 4 × 46 / 2 × 331.2
mass of NO₂ = 3104.08 / 662.4
mass of NO₂ = 4.686 g of NO₂
Now the number of moles are:
1 mole NO₂ = 46.0 g
x moles of NO₂ = 4.686 g
4.686 × 1 / 46.0 = 0.101 moles of NO₂
1 mole = 22.4 L (at STP)
0.101 moles of NO₂ = 0.101 × 22.4 / 1
= 2.26 L
Answer:
c-do background research.
Explanation:
The scientific methods exposes the way scientists carry out their investigation and how findings are reported and at times discarded. It is systematic way of studying perceived observations in the environment.
During the course of an investigation, scientists may seek to find out about the prevailing knowledge about a phenomena and the level of research that might have been done in that regard. It is proper for such a scientist to do a background research by searching for related journals and publications in that field.
