Nitric acid can be produced by the reaction of gaseous nitrogen dioxide with water. 3 no2(g + h2o(? ?? 2 hno3(? + no(g if 538 l of no2 gas react with water, what volume of no gas will be produced? assume the gases are measured under the same conditions. answer in units of l.
Assuming that the gases in this reaction are ideal gas, then we can use the conversion from L to moles which is 1 mol of ideal gas is equal to 22.4 L. We calculate as follows:
538 L NO2 ( 1 mol / 22.4L ) ( 1 mol NO / 3 mol NO2 ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 179.33 L NO is produced
