Question

According to the following balanced reaction, how many moles of NO can be formed from 3.00 moles of NO2 and 1 mole of H2O?  (Note that this answer represents the theoretical yield in moles.)                 

2 NO2(g) + H2O   →    2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Limiting reactant :-

A reactant whose number of moles are less than the number of moles required as per balanced reaction is called limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield :-

The maximum number of moles of product that can be produced when limiting reactant consumed completely in the reaction is called theoretical yield .
