Nitrogen dioxide gas and water are placed in a closed container and react to form an aqueous solution of nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide gas under STP conditions. The following data table represents
lab data acquired from this reaction.

Initial amount of
nitrogen dioxide in the
container: 112 L

Initial amount of water
in the container 40.0 mL (40.0 g)

Amount of nitric acid
produced 142 g

a. Write the balanced equation for this reaction including the states of matter.

b. Assuming the reaction goes to completion, calculate the theoretical yield, in grams, of nitric
acid according to the conditions provided above.

c. Calculate the percent yield of the experiment.

d. Based on your calculation in part c, suppose a company is looking to produce 25.0 kg of nitric
acid according to the same reaction and experimental setup. Assuming there is excess water
in the container available, calculate the minimum liters of nitrogen dioxide needed.

e. Calculate each of the following:
Amount of excess reagent, in grams, remaining:

Amount of nitrogen monoxide produced in grams:

f. Calculate the density, in g/L, of the nitrogen dioxide gas at STP.

g. Suppose a reaction is performed to remove the hydrogen from nitric acid. How many grams
of hydrogen could be obtained from the nitric acid produced as a result of the experiment?
