Answer:
37.8 L OF CARBON MONOXIDE IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 18.9 L OF NITROGEN.
Explanation:
Equation for the reaction:
2 CO + 2 NO ------> N2 + 2 CO2
2 moles of carbon monoxide reacts with 2 moles of NO to form 1 mole of nitrogen
At standard temperature and pressure, 1 mole of a gas contains 22.4 dm3 volume.
So therefore, we can say:
2 * 22.4 L of CO produces 22.4 L of N2
44.8 L of CO produces 22.4 L of N2
Since, 18.9 L of Nitrogen is produced, the volume of CO needed is:
44.8 L of CO = 22.4 L of N
x L = 18.9 L
x L = 18.9 * 44.8 / 22.4
x L = 18.9 * 2
x = 37.8 L
The volume of Carbon monoxide required to produce 18.9 L of N2 is 37.8 L
