64 g of oxygen will yield ________ g of nitrogen dioxide. N₂ + 2 O₂ → 2 NO₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of NO₂ are produced for every 1 mole of O₂ consumed. Therefore, we first need to convert 64 g of O₂ to moles by dividing by the molar mass (32 g/mol). 64 g / 32 g/mol = 2 moles of O₂. Since the ratio of O₂ to NO₂ is 1:2, we can then multiply the number of moles of O₂ by 2 to find the number of moles of NO₂ produced. 2 moles O₂ x 2 moles NO₂/mol O₂ = 4 moles NO₂. Finally, we can convert the moles of NO₂ to grams by multiplying by the molar mass (46 g/mol). 4 moles NO₂ x 46 g/mol = 184 g NO₂. Therefore, the answer is C (184).
