Answer:
V₂ = 16.5 L
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use <em>Avogadro's law, </em>which applies when temperature and pressure remain constant:
V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
In this case, V₁ is 22.0 L, n₁ is [mol CO + mol NO], V₂ is our unknown, and n₂ is [mol CO₂ + mol N₂].
- n₁ = mol CO + mol NO = 0.1900 + 0.1900 = 0.3800 mol
<em>We use the reaction to calculate n₂</em>:
2CO(g) + 2NO(g) → 2CO₂(g) + N₂(g)
- mol CO₂:
0.1900 mol CO * 0.1900 mol CO₂
- mol N₂:
0.1900 mol NO * 0.095 mol N₂
- n₂ = mol CO₂ + mol N₂ = 0.1900 + 0.095 = 0.2850 mol
Calculating V₂:
22.0 L / 0.3800 mol = V₂ / 0.2850 mol
V₂ = 16.5 L
