How many moles of N₂O₅ are produced when 3.00g of O₂ react completely in the following equation? 2N₂ + 5O₂ → 2N₂O₅ A. 0.0375 B. 0.0750 C. 0.234 D. 0.469

Respuesta :

Answer: A. 0.0375

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{3.00g}{32g/mol}=0.094moles[/tex]

[tex]2N_2+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 2N_2O_5[/tex]

According to stoichiometry :

As 5 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] give = 2 moles of [tex]N_2O_5[/tex]

Thus 0.094 moles of [tex]O_2[/tex] give =[tex]\frac{2}{5}\times 0.094=0.0375moles[/tex]  of [tex]N_2O_5[/tex]

Thus 0.0375 moles of [tex]N_2O_5[/tex] will be produced when 3.00g of O₂ react completely
