Q.

Assume carbon burns according to following equation:

2C(s)+O2(g)2CO(g)

When 12 g carbon is burnt in 48 g of oxygen, the volume of carbon monoxide produced is ______ ×10-1 L at STP (Nearest Integer).

[Given: Assume CO as ideal gas, Mass of C is 12 g mol-1, Mass of O is 16 g mol-1 and molar volume of an ideal gas at STP is 22.7 L mol-1]             [2023]


Ans.

(227)

2C          +           O2              2CO

1212(LR is C)      4832

1 mole                  1.5 mole

     0                    (1.5-0.5)=1.0 mole     1 mole

Mole of CO=1 mole

(VCO)at STP=22.7 Lit=227×10-1 Lit
