Is My Calculation of NO2 Produced from N2O5 Decomposition Correct?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The calculation of NO2 produced from the decomposition of N2O5 is confirmed to be correct. The balanced chemical equation 2N2O5 → 4NO2 + O2 indicates that for every 1 mole of O2 produced, 4 moles of NO2 are generated. Given that 1.618 g of O2 is produced, the conversion to moles using the molar mass of O2 (32 g/mol) leads to approximately 0.0506 moles of O2. This results in 0.2024 moles of NO2, which converts to 9.30 g of NO2 using its molar mass (46 g/mol).

2N2O5 heat-- 4NO2 + O2

1.618 g of O2 are produced, how much NO2 in grams are produced? I got 9.30 g NO2, is that right? I used 1 mol O2 = 32 g O2, and 1 mol NO2 = 46g NO2. I first converted g O2 to Mol O2 then used the balanced equation to convert from mol O2 to mol NO2, then converted to NO2 to grams. If anyone can tell me if I did this right I would greatly appreciate it.
