Solution

The correct option is C 92 g
Mass is divided with molecular weight to obtain number of moles.
60 grams of NO =6030=2 moles.
60 grams of O2=6032=1.875 moles.
2 moles of NO will react with 1 mole of O2. However 1.875 moles of O2 are present. Hence, O2 is excess reagent and NO is limiting reagent.
2 moles of NO will produce 2 moles of NO2.
The molecular weight of NO2 is 46 g/mol.
Mass of NO2 produced is 2×46=92 grams.
