What volume of "laughing gas" (N2O) will be produced from 60 g of nitrogen gas (N2) and 85 g of oxygen gas (O2)? How much of the excess reactant will be left? 2N2 + O2 -> 2N2O

94.16g of N2O

50.88g of O2

Explanation:

O2 reacts with N2 as follows:

2N2 + O2 → 2N2O

To find moles of N2O produced we need to convert the mass of each gas to moles to find limiting reactant and the moles of N2O that could be produced:

Moles N2 (Molar mass: 28g/mol):

60g N2 * (1mol / 28g) = 2.14 moles N2

Moles O2 (Molar mass: 32g/mol):

85g O2 * (1mol / 32g) = 2.66 moles O2

For a complete reaction of 2.14 moles of N2 are needed:

2.14 mol N2 * (1mol O2 / 2 mol N2) = 1.07 moles of O2.

As there are 2.66 moles of O2, reactant in excess is O2 and will remain:

2.66 moles - 1.07 moles =

1.59 moles O2. The mass is:

1.59 moles O2 * (32g / mol) =

And there are produced:

2.14 mol N2 * (2 moles N2O / 2 moles N2) = 2.14 moles N2O.

The mass is (44g/mol for N2O):

2.14 moles N2O * (44g/mol) =

if the temperature drops and becomes cool

then the atmosphere can be freezing as the water vapor in the air is at maximum (100%) and can be severely cold

also can be snowing lightly as the moisture in the air will start to solidify

and btw this is not chemistry but
