1.- Nitric oxide (NO) reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogendioxide (NO2), a dark-brown gas:2NO(g) + O2(g) -----> 2NO2(g) In one experiment 0.886 mole of NO is mixed with 0.503 mole ofO2. Determine which of the two reactants is the limitingreactant. Calculate also the number of moles of NO2produced.
2.- Nitroglycerin(C3H5N3O9) is apowerful explosive. Its descomposition may be represented by4C3H5N3O9------> 6N2 + 12CO2 +10H2O + O2 This reactiongenerates a large amount of heat and gaseous products. It is the sudden formation of these gases , together with their rapidexpansion, that produces the explosion.
a) What is the maximum amount of O2 in grams that can be obtained from 2.00 x 10^2 g of nitroglycerin?
b) Calculate the % yield in thsi reaction if the amount ofO2 generated is found to be 6.55 g.
