  1. A mixture of 25.0 g of NO and an excess of O2 reacts according to the balanced equation

 

_2_NO(g) + ___O2(g)  -->  _2_NO2(g)

 

How many liters of NO2, at STP, are produced?

**Problem Statement:**

A mixture of 25.0 g of NO and an excess of O₂ reacts according to the balanced equation:

\[ 2 \text{NO(g)} + \_\_\_ \, \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 2 \text{NO}_2\text{(g)} \]

How many liters of NO₂, at STP, are produced?

---

**Balanced Chemical Equation:**

The equation provided is partially balanced. The correct balanced equation is:

\[ 2 \text{NO(g)} + 1 \, \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 2 \text{NO}_2\text{(g)} \]

**Explanation:**

- Two moles of Nitric Oxide (NO) gas react with one mole of Oxygen (O₂) gas to produce two moles of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) gas.
  
**Stoichiometry Explanation:**

- Determine the moles of NO:  
  NO has a molar mass of approximately 30.01 g/mol.  
  Moles of NO = \(\frac{25.0 \, \text{g}}{30.01 \, \text{g/mol}} \approx 0.833 \, \text{moles}\)

- According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of NO produce 2 moles of NO₂.

- Since the reaction is at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters.

- Liters of NO₂ = 0.833 moles × 22.4 L/mol = 18.66 liters

Thus, 18.66 liters of NO₂ are produced at STP.
