The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;

3NO₂ + H₂O - - > 2HNO₃ + NO

stoichiometry of NO₂ to NO is 3:1

molar volume is where 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L

volume of gas is directly proportional to number of moles of gas.

therefore stoichiometry can be applied for volume as well.

volume ratio of NO₂ to NO is 3:1

volume of NO₂ reacted - 854 L

therefore volume of NO formed - 854 L / 3 = 285 L

volume of NO formed - 285 L
