Chapter 21, Problem 21.79QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equation for producing nitric oxide NO and formation of ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ from  nitrogen monoxide by the oxidation of ozone (a), effectiveness of ${\text{NO}}_{\text{2}}$ as greenhouse gas as compared to the ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$(b), and maximum number of moles of ${\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$ destroyed by the adipic acid produced in the manufacturing process of nylon (c) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

• Balanced chemical equation of a reaction is written according to law of conservation of mass.
• Greenhouse gas is the one type of gas which traps the heat within the system and thus it increases the overall temperature of the earth resulting global warming.
• Adipic acid is an organic acid which is used in the manufacturing process of nylon.
• Equation for Number of moles of a substance, from its given mass is,

$\text{Number of moles}\text{=}\frac{\text{Given}\text{mass}}{\text{Molecular}\text{mass}}$

$\text{Number of moles}\text{=}\frac{\text{Given}\text{mass}}{\text{Molecular}\text{mass}}$

To determine: the number of moles of adipic acid formed in the given reaction.

Adipic acid is an organic acid with the chemical formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$  . It is used major reactant in the manufacturing of nylon.
