June 2017 NY Regents Chemistry Exam

36 Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
 
2NO + O2 → 2NO2 + energy

The mole ratio of NO to NO2 is

(1) 1 to 1

(2) 2 to 1

(3) 3 to 2

(4) 5 to 2

Solution: The coefficients in the equation represent mole ratios. The coefficient for NO is 2 and for NO2 is 2. The mole ratio would be 2 to 2 or 1 to 1 when simplified.

Answer: 1
