4 Nitrogen monoxide reacts with oxygen like this: 2NO(gas) + O2(gas) -> 2NO2 (gas)
a. How many moles of oxygen molecules react
with I mole of nitrogen monoxide molecules?
b. What volume of oxygen will react with
50 cm of nitrogen monoxide?
c. Using the volumes in b, what is:
i. the total volume of the two reactants?
ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed?

a. mol O₂=0.5

b. volume O₂ = 25 cm³

c. i. the total volume of the two reactants = 75 cm³

c. ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed = 50 cm³

Reaction

2NO(gas) + O₂(gas) ⇒ 2NO₂ (gas)

a.

mol NO = 1

From the equation, mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so mol O₂ :

b.

From Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles  

Because mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so volume O₂ :

c.

i. total volume of reactants : 25 cm³+ 50 cm³=75 cm³

ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed :

mol ratio NO : NO₂ = 2 : 2, so volume NO₂ = volume NO = 50 cm³

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
