1 litre of a mixture of CO and CO 2 is taken. This mixture is passed through a tube containing red hot charcoal. The volume now becomes 1.6 litres. The volumes are measured under the same conditions. Find the composition of the mixture by volume.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(CO 2 = 0.6 lt, CO = 0.4 lt)
CO 2 + C ⎯→ 2CO
At t = 0 x L (1 – x) L
At = t 0 2x L
1 – x + 2x = 1.6
1 + x = 1.6
x = 0.6 L
1 – x = 0.4 L
