Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry is a chemical division that evaluates the quantitative content of the chemical process with the help of the reacting molecules or products taking part in the reaction. The term “stoicheion” in “Stoichiometry”, is an old Greek term for "elem…

Chapter 3.4, Problem 3.17BFP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nitrogen formed during a lightning strike reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogen monoxide which further reacts with ozone gas to form a nitrogen dioxide gas and oxygen gas. A balanced overall equation for this process is to be written.

Concept introduction:

Some reactions occur in a sequence. In such type of reactions, a product of one reaction acts as a reactant for the next reaction. Hence, some substances are common to both reactions. For the stoichiometric purposes, the substance that is formed as a product and act as a reactant in the next reaction sequence is eliminated in an overall/net equation.

Following are the steps to write the overall equation for the reactions that take place in a sequence,

Step 1: Write the sequence of the balanced equations.

Step 2: Cancel the common substance(s) by adjusting the equations arithmetically.

Step 3: Obtain the overall balanced equation by the addition of the adjusted equations together.
