Sulfur has two filled energy levels and six electrons on the third energy level. The corresponding electron configuration is A.
B is incorrect because there are no p orbitals at the first energy level, ie, no 1p orbitals. C is incorrect because the 4s1 electron would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals. D is incorrect because the 3d electrons would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals.

How many grams of NO can be produced if 204 g of NO2 is mixed with 58.1 g of H2O?

Goshia [24]

Answer:

44.4 grams of NO can be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NO2 = 204 grams

Molar mass NO2 = 46.0 g/mol

Mass of H2O = 58.1 grams

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

3NO2 + H2O→ 2HNO3 + NO

Step 3: Calculate moles NO2

Moles NO2 = 204 grams / 46.0 g/mol

Moles NO2 = 4.43 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 58.1 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 3.22 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 3 moles NO2 we need 1 mol H2O to produce 2 moles HNO3 and 1 mol NO

NO2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (4.43 moles). H2O is in excess. there will react 4.43 /3 = 1.48 moles. There will remain 3.22 - 1.48 = 1.74 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles NO

For 3 moles NO2 we need 1 mol H2O to produce 2 moles HNO3 and 1 mol NO

For 4.43 moles NO2 we'll have 4.43/3 = 1.48 moles NO

Step 7: Calculate mass NO

Mass NO = 1.48 moles * 30.01 g/mol

Mass NO = 44.4 grams

44.4 grams of NO can be produced
