Answer:

5.72 moles of nitrogen oxide are formed when 2.86 moles of nitrogen react.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of NO formed = ?

Moles of N₂ reacts = 2.86 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

N₂ + O₂   →  2NO

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen with nitrogen oxide from balance chemical equation.

                         N₂              :                NO

                          1                :                 2

                         2.86           :              2/1×2.86 = 5.72 mol

So 5.72 moles of nitrogen oxide are formed when 2.86 moles of nitrogen react.
