Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide according to the equation: 3NO2(g)+H2O(l)→2HNO3(l)+NO(g) Suppose that 26 mol NO2 and 7 mol H2O combine and react completely. How many moles of the reactant in excess are present after the reaction has completed?

5 moles of NO₂ will remain after the reaction is complete

Explanation:

We state the reaction:

3NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2HNO₃(l) + NO(g)

3 moles of nitric oxide can react with 1 mol of water. Ratio is 3:1, so we make this rule of three:

If 3 moles of nitric oxide need 1 mol of water to react

Then, 26 moles of NO₂ may need (26 .1) / 3 = 8.67 moles of H₂O

We have 7 moles of water but we need 8.67 moles, so water is the limiting reactant because we do not have enough. In conclusion, the oxide is the reagent in excess. We can verify:

1 mol of water needs 3 moles of oxide to react

Therefore, 7 moles of water  will need (7 .3)/1 = 21 moles of oxide

We have 26 moles of NO₂ and we need 21, so we still have oxide after the reaction is complete. We will have (26-21) = 5 moles of oxide that remains

answer; i believe the correct answer is (solid gold);

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
