450cm3 of nitrogen monoxide and 200cm3 of oxygen are mixed together and ignited. Calculate the composition of the resulting mixture.
2NO+O2→2NO2
2NO(g)2 V+O2(g)1 V⟶2NO2(g)2V
From equation, 1 V of O2 reacts with = 2 V of NO
200 cm3 oxygen will react with =200×2=400 cm3 of NO
hence, remaining NO is 450−400=50 cm3
NO2 produced =400 cm3 because 1 V oxygen gives 2 V of NO2.
Total mixture =400+50=450 cm3
