Question

About 640 ml of carbon monoxide is mixed with 80mL of oxygen and ignited in an enclosed vessel.Calculate the volume of gases after the burning is completed.All are measured in S.T.P.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2CO+O

2

→2CO

2

To burn 2 volume of CO, 1 volume of O

2

is required and 2 volume of CO

2

is produced.

To burn 560 ml of CO, 560/2 = 280 ml of O

2

will be required and 560 ml of CO

2

will be produced.

Hence, volume of O

2

required = 280 ml, volume of CO

2

produced = 560 ml.
