4 Nitrogen monoxide reacts with oxygen like this: 2NO(gas) + O2(gas) -> 2NO2 (gas)
a. How many moles of oxygen molecules react
with I mole of nitrogen monoxide molecules?
b. What volume of oxygen will react with
50 cm of nitrogen monoxide?
c. Using the volumes in b, what is:
i. the total volume of the two reactants?
ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed?

a. mol O₂=0.5

b. volume O₂ = 25 cm³

c. i. the total volume of the two reactants = 75 cm³

c. ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed = 50 cm³

Reaction

2NO(gas) + O₂(gas) ⇒ 2NO₂ (gas)

a.

mol NO = 1

From the equation, mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so mol O₂ :

b.

From Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles  

Because mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so volume O₂ :

c.

i. total volume of reactants : 25 cm³+ 50 cm³=75 cm³

ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed :

mol ratio NO : NO₂ = 2 : 2, so volume NO₂ = volume NO = 50 cm³

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
