Question

question 1 (2 points)
balance the following equation and determine the correct conversion factor below:
no₂ (g) + h₂o (l) → hno₃ (aq) + no (a
2 mol no₂ / 1 mol hno₃
3 mol no₂ / 2 mol hno₃
1 mol no₂ / 1 mol hno₃
2 mol no₂ / 3 mol hno₃

Explanation:

Step1: Balance the chemical equation

$3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)
ightarrow 2HNO_3(aq)+NO(aq)$

Step2: Determine the conversion factor

From the balanced equation, the mole - ratio of $NO_2$ to $HNO_3$ is 3:2. So the conversion factor is $\frac{3\ mol\ NO_2}{2\ mol\ HNO_3}$.

Answer:

$3\ mol\ NO_2/2\ mol\ HNO_3$
