NX is produced by the following step of reactions
M+X2→MX2
3MX2+X2→M3X8
M3X8+N2CO3→NX+CO2+M3O4
How much metal(M) is consumed to produce 206 g of NX? (at wt of M = 56, N = 23, X = 80)
42g
M3X8+N2CO3→NX+CO2+M3O4
This reaction is not balanced. On balancing, you get:
M3X8+4N2CO3→8NX+4CO2+M3O4
206 g is 2 mol of NX.
3 mol M gives us 8 moles NX, how much will give us 2 mol?
34 mol, = 34×56=42 g
