Question
What volumes (in liters) of carbon monoxide and oxygen gas must react according to the equation2Co(g)+O2(g)---> 2CO2(g) To form 4.01L of Carbon dioxide?
-What is the volume of CO?(L) -What is the volume of O2?(L) What volumes (in liters) of carbon monoxide and oxygen gas must react according to the equation
2Co(g)+O2(g)---> 2CO2(g) To form 4.01L of Carbon dioxide?
-What is the volume of CO?(L) -What is the volume of O2?(L)
2Co(g)+O2(g)---> 2CO2(g) To form 4.01L of Carbon dioxide?
-What is the volume of CO?(L) -What is the volume of O2?(L)
Explanation / Answer
As per the equation
2CO(g)+O2(g)---> 2CO2(g)
two moles of CO will react with one mole of O2 to give 2moles of CO2
Volume is proportional to moles of gases
so as per stoichiometry
for 22.4 L of CO2 we need 22.4 L of CO and 22.4 /2 L of O2
So for 4.01 L of CO2 we will need
CO = 4.01 L
O2 = 2.005 L
