Answer:
22.9 Liters CO(g) needed
Explanation:
2CO(g) + O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g)
? Liters 32.65g
= 32.65g/32g/mol
= 1.02 moles O₂
Rxn ratio for CO to O₂ = 2 mole CO(g) to 1 mole O₂(g)
∴moles CO(g) needed = 2 x 1.02 moles CO(g) = 2.04 moles CO(g)
Conditions of standard equation* is STP (0°C & 1atm) => 1 mole any gas occupies 22.4 Liters.
∴Volume of CO(g) = 1.02mole x 22.4Liters/mole = 22.9 Liters CO(g) needed

*Standard Equation => molecular rxn balanced to smallest whole number ratio coefficients is assumed to be at STP conditions (0°C & 1atm).
Answer:
Explanation:
Oxygen is one of the most abundant elements on this planet. Our atmosphere is 21% free elemental oxygen. Oxygen is also extensively combined in compounds in the earths crust, such as water (89%) and in mineral oxides. Even the human body is 65% oxygen by mass.
Free elemental oxygen occurs naturally as a gas in the form of diatomic molecules, O2 (g). Oxygen exhibits many unique physical and chemical properties. For example, oxygen is a colorless and odorless gas, with a density greater than that of air, and a very low solubility in water. In fact, the latter two properties greatly facilitate the collection of oxygen in this lab. Among the unique chemical properties of oxygen are its ability to support respiration in plants and animals, and its ability to support combustion.
In this lab, oxygen will be generated as a product of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. A catalyst is used to speed up the rate of the decomposition reaction, which would otherwise be too slow to use as a source of oxygen. The catalyst does not get consumed by the reaction, and can be collected for re-use once the reaction is complete. The particular catalyst used in this lab is manganese(IV) oxide.
It's called a compound because different elements are held together by a chemical bond.
