Concentrated nitric acid oxidizes phosphorus to phosphoric acid according to the following equations :
If 9.3g of phosphorus was used in the reactions, calculate: The volume of nitrogen dioxide produced at STP.
Step-1. Given reaction :
From the given reaction, it is concluded that 5 moles of are formed during the reaction.
Step-2. The volume of 1 mole of at STP
Step-3. If of phosphorus released of at STP
Then of Phosphorus releases
Hence, of Phosphorus releases of nitrogen dioxide.
