Is My Calculation of NO2 Production Accurate?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The calculation of NO2 production from the decomposition of N2O5 is confirmed to be accurate. Given the balanced equation 2N2O5 → 4NO2 + O2, the production of 1.618 g of O2 corresponds to the formation of 9.30 g of NO2. The user correctly utilized the molar masses of O2 (32 g/mol) and NO2 (46 g/mol) to convert grams to moles and back to grams, following stoichiometric principles. This method ensures accurate results in chemical calculations.

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.
