Literally translated, "Locus iste a deo factus est" is Latin for "This place was made by God". This line is taken from the beginning of the gradual for a Mass being said at the dedication of a Church. Anton Bruckner made the line famous when he wrote a choral piece for this exact gradual. He wrote it in 1869 for the dedication of the votive chapel of the cathedral at Linz, Austria.

Sometimes the translation is stylistically rendered to read, "This is the Lord's house, which He hath made" to better emphasize the spirit of the words and their appropriateness to a Church dedication.

Determine the molar mass of NO2 using the subscripts in the formula and the atomic weights in grams from the periodic table.

1 mole NO2 = (1 x 14.0067g N) + (2 x 15.9994g O) = 46.0055g NO2

Calculate the moles NO2 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.

25.5g NO2 x (1mol NO2/46.0055g NO2) = 0.554mol NO2

The answer is "one mole of NO2." Good Luck! Have a great day!

"Terribilis" means terrifying, terrible. "This is a horrible place." See also: en arcadia ego, Poussin, and Rennes-le-Château.

*Update* Actually, the Latin phrase "Terribilis est locus iste" is a biblical text commonly employed as a cantus firmus throughout many Renaissance texts. From Gen 28:17, it translates to "Awesome is this place." You'll see it in motifs dealing with the dedication of cathedrals, as in Dufay's 1436 "Nuper Rosarum Flores" composed for the consecration of Brunelleschi's dome in Florence.
