Answer:
54.5 L of nitrogen monoxide, NO.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
2CO + 2NO —> N₂ + 2CO₂
From the balanced equation above,
2 L of NO reacted to produce 2 L of CO₂.
Finally, we shall determine the volume of nitrogen monoxide, NO, required to produce 54.5 L of carbon dioxide, CO₂. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
2 L of NO reacted to produce 2 L of CO₂.
Therefore, 54.5 L of NO will also react to produce 54.5 L of CO₂.
Thus, 54.5 L of nitrogen monoxide, NO, is needed for the reaction.
