Question

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+O2NO2
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+O20.4xNO20.4x
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.
