2. Nitric oxide (NO) reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2 ), a dark-brown gas:                                      2NO +  O2 ==>2NO2 In one experiment 0.886 mole of NO is mixed with 0.503 mole of O2 . Calculate which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent. Calculate also the number of moles of NO2 produced.
