Question

1. How many moles of HNO3 will be produced with .51 mol of N2O5 according to the
following equation?
N2O5 + H2O → HNO3​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.02 moles

Explanation:

We are given;

• The equation;

N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃

• Moles of N₂O₅ is 0.51 moles

We are required to determine the number of moles of HNO₃ produced.

First, we need to identify the mole ratio of N₂O₅ to HNO₃

• From the equation 1 mole of N₂O₅ reacts to produce 2 moles of HNO₃
• Therefore, the mole ratio of N₂O₅ to HNO₃ is 1 : 2

Second; we can determine the moles of HNO₃

• From the mole ratio;

Moles of HNO₃ = Moles of N₂O₅ × 2

                         = 0.51 Moles × 2

                         = 1.02 moles

Thus, the number of moles of HNO₃ that will be produced is 1.02 moles
