Question

Values for the molar mass of nitrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen dioxide molecules are given in the table below. What mass of nitrogen dioxide molecules is formed when 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 2 moles of oxygen and forms nitrogen dioxide? Choices: A). 92.02g B). 46.01g C). 23.00g D) 2.00g

Answer 1

Answer:

A). 92.02g

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

N2 (g)+ 2O2(g)------> 2NO2(g)

Note that the balanced reaction equation is the first step in solving any problem on stoichiometry. Once the reaction equation is correct, the question can be easily solved.

Reaction of one mole of nitrogen gas with two moles of oxygen gas yields two moles of nitrogen dioxide.

Mass of two moles of nitrogen dioxide= 2[14 + 2(16)] = 2[14+32]= 2[46]= 92 gmol-1

Therefore; Mass of two moles of nitrogen dioxide is 92
