Question

Nitrogen dioxide from exhaust reacts with oxygen to form ozone.
NO₂(g) + O₂(g) → NO(g) + O₃(g)
What mass of ozone could be formed from 3.97 g NO₂?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 4.14 g of O₃

Explanation:

Data

mass of nitrogen dioxide = 3.97 g

mass of ozone = x g

Reaction

                     NO₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)  ⇒   NO (g) + O₃ (g)

- Check that that reaction is balanced

                  Reactants         Elements         Products

                        1                        N                       1

                        4                        O                      4

This reaction is balanced

- Calculate the molecular mass of NO₂ and O₃

NO₂ = 14 + 32 = 46 g

O₃ = 48 g

- Calculate the mass of Ozone formed.

                      46 g of NO₂ ------------------ 48 g of O₃

                      3.97 gof NO₂ ----------------  x

                      x = (3.97 x 48 ) / 46

                      x = 190.56 / 46

                      x = 4.14 g of O₃
