From the equation :
`3Cu + 8HNO_(3) to 3Cu (NO_(3))_(2) + 4H_(2)O + 2NO` Calculate :
volume of nitric oxide at S.T.P. that can be collected.

Explanation

To solve the problem of calculating the volume of nitric oxide (NO) produced from the reaction of copper (Cu) with nitric acid (HNO₃) at standard temperature and pressure (STP), we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Balanced Chemical Equation**:
The balanced equation is given as:
\[ 3 \text{Cu} + 8 \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow 3 \text{Cu(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 4 \text{H}_2\text{O} + 2 \text{NO} \]
From this equation, we can see that 2 moles of nitric oxide (NO) are produced for every 3 moles of copper reacted.
