Question

The final volume of reaction mixture when 6L CO2 and 6L O2 are allowed to react to maximum possible extent is (All volumes are under similar conditions of pressure and temperature)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In 1886—three years after the eruption—the first botanical expedition arrived on Krakatoa. They found mosses, algae, flowering plants and eleven species of fern. ... Scientists assume that most of these plants arrived via wind, but some species could have arrived as seeds carried by the surf.

Answer 2

Given: Volume of CO₂ = 6L

            The volume of O₂ = 6L

To find: Total volume of the reaction mixture

Solution:

The following is the reaction that takes place between carbon dioxide and oxygen.

1/2O₂ + CO₂ → CO₃

• According to the law of conservation of mass, 1 mole of carbon dioxide reacts with half a mole of oxygen to form 1 mole of carbon trioxide.

• Therefore, 6L of carbon dioxide reacts with 3L of oxygen to form 6L of carbon trioxide, and 3L of oxygen is left unreacted.

So, the final volume of the reaction mixture is 6L of carbon trioxide is formed, and 3L of oxygen remains unreacted.

• Carbon dioxide is an acidic colourless gas. It is formed when carbon from coal reacts with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapour during combustion.

• Carbon trioxide is the unstable oxide of carbon. There is three isomers of carbon trioxide.
