Question

How many grams of water are required to form 75.9g of HNO3?

Consider the following balanced reaction. How many grams of water are required to form 75.9g of HNO3?

Assume that there is ecess NO2 present. The masses are as follows: 3 NO3 (g) + H2O yields 2HNO3 (aq) + NO (g)
H2O= 18.02g/mol HNO3= 63.02g/mol

Ok so i didnt understand how to solve this. i tried 75.9g HNO3 x (1mol/63.02HNO3)x(2mol/1mol H2O)x(1mol/18.02gH2O) and it was wrong and Im not sure why. Pleaseexplain and give me the answer.

Answer #1
Step1 Moles of HNO3 =75.9/63.02

Step2 Moles of H2O= (1/2) Moles of HNO3 = (1/2)(75.9/63.02)

Step3 Mass of H2O= (1/2)(75.9/63.02)(18.02)=10.85 g
