Answer: -
4.25 mol of O₂ left as excess.
3.5 mol of NO₂ formed.
Explanation: -
Number of moles of NO taken = 3.5
Number of moles of O₂ taken = 6.0
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 NO+ O₂ → 2 NO₂
From the equation we can see that
2 mol of NO react with 1 mol of O₂
3.5 mol of NO react with x 3.5 mol NO
= 1.75 mol O₂
So Oxygen O₂ is in excess and NO is the limiting reagent.
Moles of O₂ left over = 6 - 1.75 =4.25 mol of O₂
From the balanced chemical equation we see
2 mol of NO gives 2 mol of NO₂
3.5 mol of NO gives x 3.5 mol NO
= 3.5 mol of NO₂
