Chapter 4, Problem 113IAE

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The extent of the given chemical reaction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The extent of a chemical reaction (moles reacting) is calculated by applying the following formula:

$\xi =\frac{n_i-n_f}{v}$

Here,

$\xi =$ Extent of reaction.

$n_i=$ Moles of a particular reacting species when the reaction starts.

$n_f=$ Moles of a particular reacting species after the reaction.

$v=$ Stoichiometric coefficient of the particular species in the balanced chemical equation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The moles of nitrogen monoxide generated and the moles of nitric acid remaining after the given reaction should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Moles of product produced from a chemical reaction are determined based on the mole ratio of one reactant and the product represented by the balanced chemical equation of the reaction.
