1. Find the molar mass of NO2:
* Nitrogen (N) has an atomic mass of 14.01 g/mol
* Oxygen (O) has an atomic mass of 16.00 g/mol
Molar mass of NO2 = 14.01 g/mol + (2 * 16.00 g/mol) = 46.01 g/mol
2. Use the molar mass to convert grams to moles:
* Moles = Mass / Molar Mass
* Moles = 25.5 g / 46.01 g/mol
* Moles ≈ 0.554 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 0.554 moles of NO2 molecules in 25.5 g of NO2.
