A scientist plans the react 9.0x10^-2 L NO held at a pressure of 200.0kPa and a temperature of 20.0 C with excess hydrogen. How many moles of nitrogen gas will be produced

Answer:

[tex]n_{N_2}=0.00369molN_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, by firstly setting up the described chemical reaction, we are able to write:

[tex]2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)[/tex]

Thus, given the pressure (convert to atm), volume and temperature (convert to K) we can calculate the moles of NO:

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\frac{200.00/101.325atm*0.090L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(20.0+273.15)K} \\\\n=0.00738molNO[/tex]

Next, we use the 2:1 mole ratio of NO to N2 to obtain the moles of nitrogen gas that will be produced:

[tex]n_{N_2}=0.00738molNO *\frac{1molN_2}{2molNO} \\\\n_{N_2}=0.00369molN_2[/tex]
