Balance Chemical Equation,
2 CO + O₂ → 2CO₂
Acc. to this reaction,
88 g (2 mole) of CO₂ was produced when = 56 g (2 mole)of CO was reacted
So,
24.7 g of CO₂ will be produced by reacting = X g of CO
Solving for X,
X = (56 g × 24.7 g) ÷ 88 g
X = 2.26 g ÷ 88 g
X = 0.0257 g of CO
Result:
0.0257 g of CO is required to be reacted with excess of O₂ to produce 24.7 g of CO₂.
This reaction is most likely to fall under SN2 because the
thing called carbonication does not occur in SN1. The carbon forms a partial
bond with the nucleophile during the intermediate phase and the leaving group.
So for this question the reaction will fall under SN2.
