Question

What volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be produced if 2.90 moles of it on (Fe) is produced?

Answer 1

Answer:

= 97.44 Liters at S.T.P

Explanation:

The reaction between Iron (iii) oxide and Carbon monoxide is given by the equation;

Fe2O3(s)+ 3CO(g) → 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(s)

From the reaction when the reactants react, 2 moles of Fe and 3 moles of CO2 are produced.

Therefore; Mole ratio of Iron : Carbon dioxide is 2:3

Thus; Moles of Carbon dioxide = (2.9/2)×3

                                                   = 4.35 moles

But; 1 mole of CO2 at s.t.p occupies 22.4 liters

Therefore;

Mass of CO2 = 22.4 × 4.35 Moles

                     = 97.44 L
