How many grams of HNO3 are produced when 59.0 g of NO2 completely reacts?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

53.7 grams of HNO3 will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of NO2 = 59.0 grams

Molar mass NO2 = 46.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

3NO2 + H2O→ 2HNO3 + NO

Step 3: Calculate moles NO2

Moles NO2 = 59.0 grams / 46.0 g/mol

Moles NO2 = 1.28 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HNO3

For 3 moles NO2 we need 1 mol H2O to produce 2 moles HNO3 and 1 mol NO

For 1.28 moles NO2 we'll have 2/3 * 1.28 =0.853 moles HNO3

Step 7: Calculate mass HNO3

Mass HNO3 = 0.853 moles * 63.01 g/mol

Mass HNO3 = 53.7 grams

53.7 grams of HNO3 will be produced
