Question

1 litre mixture of $C O$ and $C O_{2}$ is taken. This is passed through a tube containing red-hot charcoal. The volume now becomes 1.6 liters. The volumes. are measured under the same conditions. Find the composition of the mixture by volume.

Open in App

Solution

Let there be $x$ mL $C O$ in the mixture, hence, there will be:
$(1000 x) m L C O_{2}$ . The reaction of $C O_{2}$ with red hot charcoal may be given as:
$C O_{2} (g) 1 v o l . (1000 - x) + C (s) \to 2 C O (g) 2 v o l . 2 (1000 x)$
Total volume of the gas becomes $= x + 2 (1000 - x)$
$x + 2000 - 2 x = 1600$
$x = 400 m L$
$∴$ Volume of $C O = 400 m L$ and volume of $C O_{2} = 600 m L$

1 litre mixture of CO and CO2 is taken. This is passed through a tube containing red-hot charcoal. The volume now becomes 1.6 liters. The volumes. are measured under the same conditions. Find the composition of the mixture by volume.

Let there be x mL CO in the mixture, hence, there will be: (1000x)mLCO2. The reaction of CO2 with red hot charcoal may be given as:CO2(g)1vol.(1000−x)+C(s)→2CO(g)2vol.2(1000x)Total volume of the gas becomes =x+2(1000−x)x+2000−2x=1600 x=400mL ∴ Volume of CO=400mL and volume of CO2=600mL
