Question

45.4L of dinitrogen reacted with 22.7 L of dioxygen and 45.4 L of nitrous oxide was formed. The reaction is given below:
$2N_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)\longrightarrow 2N_{2}O(g)$
Which law is being obeyed in this experiment? Write the statement of the law.

Answer 1

The given chemical reaction is as follows

$2{ N }_{ 2 }\quad +\quad { O }_{ 2 }\quad \rightarrow \quad 2{ N }_{ 2 }O$

From the above chemical reaction,  

Two volumes of nitrogen and two volume of oxygen to form two volumes of ${ N }_{ 2 }O$. It clearly states that the simple ratio is 2 : 1 : 2. It is explained by Gay Lussac's law of gaseous volumes.

According to Gay Lussac's law of gaseous volumes states in a chemical reaction when the gases combine, the amount of reactants and products present in the chemical reaction can be denoted in a simple ratio in terms of volume, given that all the reactants and products in the same pressure and temperature.
