Chapter 15, Problem 49E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The limiting reactant in the reaction ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)+{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)\to {\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}\left(g\right)$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The limiting reagent refers to the compound that is fully utilized after the completion of the chemical reaction. It predicts the quantity of the product formed in a reaction. The amount of a limiting reagent is lower than its required amount to complete the reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The volume of ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The limiting reagent refers to the compound that is fully utilized after the completion of the chemical reaction. It predicts the quantity of the product formed in a reaction. The amount of a limiting reagent is lower than its required amount to complete the reaction.
