Question 3

From Chemistry HL Paper 1 (May 2024, TZ2)

  1. 6.00 mol of copper, Cu, are mixed with 12.00 mol of dilute nitric acid, HNO3 (aq). The equation for the reaction that occurs is shown below.
    3Cu(s) + 8HNO3 (aq) → 3Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H2O(l)
    What is the amount, in mol, of nitrogen(II) oxide, NO, produced assuming that the reaction goes to completion?
