Chapter 5, Problem 5.52E

Nitrogen and oxygen react as follows:

${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)+2{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\to 2{\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$

Suppose $1.25\text{mol}$ of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}$ and $50.0\text{g}$ of ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ are mixed together.

a. Which one is the limiting reactant?

b. What is the maximum mass in grams of ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ that can be produced from the mixture?
