Question

Plz someone help, really struggling

Answer 1

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).
