Assume carbon burns according to following equation :
When 12 g carbon is burnt in 48 g of oxygen, the volume of carbon monoxide produced is ______ xl0 -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 ]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
GO FOR SOLUTION
(227)
2C(s) + O 2 (g) 
2CO(g)
1mol 1.5 mol
Limiting reagent is carbon. One mole carbon produces one mole CO. Hence, volume at STP is 227 x10 -1 litre
