Question

In dilute nitric acid, HNO3, copper metal dissolves according to the following equation:

3Cu(s) + 8HNO3(aq) ----> 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H2O(aq)

How many Liters of NO are formed from 5.78 x 1024 molecules of HNO3

Answer 1

how many moles of HNO3 do you have?
You will get 1/4 that many moles of NO
At STP, 1 mole occupies 22.4L
So plug and chug

Answer 2

what does plug and chug mean :/

Answer 3

plug means to substitute while chug means to solve the equation after substitution. Plug 'n chug is an easy way of saying you have the formula and the numbers, go get it (the answer).

Answer 4

ok thank you!
