Question:

A method for eliminating oxides of nitrogen (e.g., NO₂) from automobile exhaust gases is to pass the exhaust gases over solid cyanuric acid, C₃N₃(OH)₃. When the hot exhaust gases come in contact with cyanuric acid, solid C₃N₃(OH)₃ decomposes into isocyanic acid vapor, HNCO(g), which then reacts with NO₂ in the exhaust gases to give N₂, CO₂, and H₂O. How many grams of C₃N₃(OH)₃ are needed per gram of NO₂ in this method?
