Carbon mono oxide (CO) and oxygen O 2 react according to :
2CO(g) + O 2 (g) ⎯→ 2CO 2 (g)
Assuming that the reaction takes place and goes to completion, after the valve is opened in the apparatus represented in the accompanying figure. Also assume that the temperature is fixed at 300 K. (Take R = 0.08 atm L/mole K)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a,b,c)n CO = 
= 
= 2 ; 
= 
= 
= 2
2CO + O 2 
2CO 2 (g)
⇒ CO is limiting Reagent so no. of moles of CO 2 formed = 2
⇒ CO is limiting Reagent so no. of moles of O 2 left = 1
Partial Pressure O 2 = 
= 
= 6 atm.
