Answer:
V = 12.5 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of NO = 15.0 L
Temperature and pressure = standard
Volume of nitrogen gas produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
6NO + 4NH₃ → 5N₂ + 6 H₂O
Number of moles of NO:
PV = nRT
n = PV/RT
n = 1 atm × 15.0 L / 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 K
n = 15.0 atm.L / 22.43 atm.L /mol
n = 0.67 mol
now we will compare the moles of No and nitrogen gas.
NO : N₂
6 : 5
0.67 : 5/6×0.67 = 0.56
Volume of nitrogen gas:
PV = nRT
1 atm × V = 0.56 mol × 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K × 273.15 K
V = 12.5 atm.L / 1 atm
V = 12.5 L
