Consider a different reaction from the one conducted in lab. When nitrogen gas (N2) reacts with oxygen gas (O2) the result is the formation of dinitrogen trioxide gas (N2O3). At the start of a particular experiment, 3.20 grams of O2 is reacted with excess N2. At the end of the experiment, the amount of N2O3 actually produced by the reaction is 4.50 grams.
a) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Be sure to include all phase labels and properly balance the equation.
b) Calculate the theoretical mass of the N2O3 in the experiment.
c) Calculate the percent yield of the product made in the experiment.
