2 NO(g) + O₂(g) 2 NO2(g)
5.)
A student investigates the reactions of nitrogen oxides. One of the reactions in the investigation requires an equimolar
mixture of NO(g) and NO, (g), which the student produces by using the reaction represented above.
(a) The particle-level representation of the equimolar mixture of NO(g) and NO₂(g) in the flask at the completion of the
reaction between NO(g) and O, (g) is shown below in the box on the right. In the box below on the left, draw the
particle-level representation of the reactant mixture NO(g) and O₂(g) that would yield the product mixture shown in
the box on the right. In your drawing, represent oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms as indicated below.
Oxygen atom =
Reactant Mixture
Nitrogen atom =
