Nitric oxide (NO) reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), a dark brown gas:
2NO(g) + O₂(g) → NO₂ (g) in one experiment, 0.863 mol of NO is mixed with 0.501 mol ofO₂.
determine which of the two reactants is the limiting reactant.
calculate also the number of moles of NO₂ produced. limiting reactant:
