Question

how many moles of nitrogen dioxide, NO2, are required to produce 3.56 mol of nitric acid?

Answer 1

Hi! So I think I know how to solve this problem. I apologize if I'm not correct! I recommend creating a conversions table. So the molecular formula for nitric acid is HNO3. Since we know mols of nitric acid we can convert this from mols to grams of Nitrogen dioxide:

3.56molsHNO3 X (63.02g HNO3 / 1 mol HNO3) X (1 mol NO2/ 46.01 g NO2)

Answer 2

when I multiplied this out it came out with 4.88 mols of NO2

Answer 3

which doesn't seem too bad of a number

Answer 4

Thank you so much!

Answer 5

No prob. Anytime :)
