Answer:
305 litres of NO gas will be produced from 916 L of NO₂
Explanation:
Given the balanced equation of the chemical reaction as follows:
3 NO₂ (g) + H₂O( l) —— 2 HNO₃ (l) + NO (g)
Under standard conditions, 3 moles of No₂ will react with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of NO gas.
Molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L
Number of moles of NO₂ gas present in 916 L = 916/22.4 = 40.893 moles of NO₂ gas
From the mole ratio of NO₂ to NO in the equation of reaction,
Number of moles of NO that will be produced = 1/3 × 40.893 moles = 13.631 moles of NO gas
Volume of 13.631 moles of NO gas = 13.631 × 22.4
Volume of NO gas produced = 305.334L
Therefore, Volume of NO gas produced from the reaction of 916 L of NO₂ with water = 305 L
