nitrogen monoxide and oxygen react to form nitrogen dioxide. if 5.6 moles of no react with 3.1 moles of o 2, how many moles of the reactant in excess will remain after the reaction? (assume 100% yield.)



Answer :

0.3 moles of Oxygen is excess reactant (reagent) when yield is 100% .

NO =5.6 moles

O2= 3.1 moles

2NO + O2 --> 2NO2 the chemical reaction.

the ratio of NO and O2 is 2:1

therefore for 5.6 moles of NO, 2.8 moles of Oxygen(O2) is required. So 3.1moles - 2.8 moles = 0.3 moles

The reactant in a chemical reaction that is present in a quantity that is larger than what is required to fully react with the limiting yield is known as the excess reactant. The substance(s) still present after a chemical reaction has reached equilibrium in yield are the reactant(s). Subtract the mass of excess reagent eaten from the total mass of excess reagent provided to determine the quantity of yield that is still present. Reactants in a chemical reaction are referred to as excess reagents if they are still present after the reaction is complete.
