The equation for this step of the process should be as follows, providing us with the molar ratio of HNO3 to NO2:
3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g)
We also need the molecular mass of NO2 (46.0066g/mol) and HNO3 (63.01g/mol).
Using the mass of HNO3, 25.2 g would be equivalent to 25.2g(1mol/63.01g)= 0.399937 mol of HNO3.
Based on the molar ratio of HNO3 to NO2 (2 mol HNO3 to 3 mol NO2), the reaction would require 0.399937mol(3mol/2mol)= 0.599905 mol of NO2.
Using the mass of NO2, we would require 0.599905mol(46.0055g/1mol)= 27.6 g
