Answer

2Ca(NO3)22CaO+ 4NO2 +O22[40+2[14+3(16)]]2[40+16]=2[40+28+96]=2(56)=328 g=112 g\begin{matrix} 2\text{Ca(NO}3)2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{CaO} & + &\space 4\text{NO}2 \space + & \text{O}2 \ 2[40 + 2[14 + 3(16)]] & & 2[40 + 16] \ = 2[40 + 28 + 96] & & = 2(56) \ = 328 \text{ g} & & = 112 \text{ g} \end{matrix}

328 g of calcium nitrate produces 112 g of CaO

∴ 82 g of calcium nitrate will produce 112328\dfrac{112}{328} x 82

= 28 g of CaO

328 g of calcium nitrate produces 4 x 22.4 L of NO2

∴ 82 g of calcium nitrate will produce 4×22.4328\dfrac{4 \times 22.4}{328} x 82

= 22.4 L of NO2
