Question

Wetlands can play a significant role in removing fertilizer residues from rain runoff and groundwater; one way they do this is through denitrification, which converts nitrate ions to nitrogen gas:

 2NO−3​(aq)+5CO(g)+2H+(aq)N2​(g)+H2​O(l)+5CO2​(g)

Part a.
Suppose 285 g of NO3flows into a swamp each day. What volume of N2 would be produced each day at 17.0°C and 1.00 atm if the denitrification process were complete?
____ L of N2   

Part b.

Suppose 285 g of NO3flows into a swamp each day. What volume of CO2 would be produced each day at 17.0°C and 1.00 atm? 

____ L of CO2    
 
Part c.
Suppose the gas mixture produced by the decomposition reaction is trapped in a container at 17.0°C; what is the density of the mixture assuming Ptotal = 1.00 atm?
 _____ g/L
