Answer:
Part A: 2.0 mol.
Part B: 10.8 mol.
Explanation:
2N₂O₅(g) → 4NO₂(g) + O₂(g),
It is clear that 2 mol of N₂O₅(g) dissociate to 4 mol of NO₂(g) and 1 mol O₂(g).
Part A 1.0 mol N₂O₅:
Using cross multiplication:
2 mol of N₂O₅(g) produces → 4 mol of NO₂(g), from stichiometry.
1 mol of N₂O₅(g) produces → ??? mol of NO₂(g),
∴ The no. of moles of NO₂ produced = (1 mol)(4 mol)/(2 mol) = 2.0 mol.
Part B 5.4 mol N₂O₅:
Using cross multiplication:
2 mol of N₂O₅(g) produces → 4 mol of NO₂(g), from stichiometry.
5.4 mol of N₂O₅(g) produces → ??? mol of NO₂(g),
∴ The no. of moles of NO₂ produced = (5.4 mol)(4 mol)/(2 mol) = 10.8 mol.
