The following image shows a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases at room temperature. When the temperature of the mixture is raised, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are produced.

Illustration of nitrogen and oxygen gas mixture for chemical reaction study.

2 N2 + 3 O2 → 2 NO + 2 NO2

What will be the number of molecules of each substance present in the mixture when the reaction is complete.
