Question

Consider the following gas phase reaction:

Answer 1

Answer:

2NO(g) + O2(g) --> 2NO2(g)

now 400 ml of NO × 2 mol of NO2/2 mol of NO

= 400 ml of NO2

now 500 ml of O2 × 2 mol of NO2/1 mol of O2

= 1000 ml of NO2

now 400 ml of NO2 × 1 mol of O2/2 mol of NO

= 200 ml

subtract that from 500 ml of total i.e. 500-200 =300 ml

The total volume of the reaction mixture is 1000 ml -300ml = 700 ml
