A gaseous mixture of N2 and O2 containing 60% by mole N2 is allowed to react with each other according to the following equation. N2+O2→NO2 If 92 g of NO2 is formed, find the mole of N2 present in the mixture.

Solution
Suppose the number of moles present in mixture is x. 12N20.6x+O20.4x→NO20.4x The molar mass of NO2 is 46 g/mol. 92 g of NO2 is obtained. 0.4x×46=92 x=20.4 So, 0.6x=20.4×0.6=3. Hence, the mole of N2 present in the mixture is 3.
