KNO_3+NaHSO_4=NO_2
« on: January 03, 2008, 01:50:35 PM »
             If i use 1 mole saltpeter and 1 mole sodium bisulfate, how many moles of nitrogen dioxide will i get? nitrogen dioxide is used in the production of nitric acid. it combines 17 parts water to 46 parts nitric acid.

      i fount this equation om wiki: H2SO4 + KNO3 → KHSO4 + HNO3
does the sodium bisulfate method use the equation NaH2SO4 + KNO3 → KHSO4 + HNO3?
if not, what equatin does it use? i am very new to chemistry.

Sodium bisulfate has formula NaHSO4
Note, when heating both salts - mostly HNO3 will distill.

just write the balanced equation and then work out the number of moles required for each. Knowing the molecular weight of the reactants and products, you can work out the mass of the products.
