Nitrogen monoxide reacts with oxygen according to the following reaction: 2NO(g) + O₂(g) $\rightarrow$2NO₂(g) If 10 moles of nitrogen monoxide are combined with 4 moles of oxygen, how many moles of NO₂should form?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of NO reacts with 1 mole of O2 to form 2 moles of N2O. Therefore, if 10 moles of NO reacts with 4 moles of O2, we can only use 2 moles of O2 to react with 4 moles of NO. The remaining 2 moles of O2 will not react because there is not enough NO. Thus, the maximum amount of N2O that can form is 8 moles.
