Question

carbon monoxide react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide according to the equation 2 co + o2 gives 2co 2 In an experiment 400 ml of co and 180 ml of oxygen are allowed to react When 80% of co was transferred to co2 All the volumes are measured under the same temp and pressure Find out composition of mixture
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: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.
