560 ml of carbon monoxide is mixed with 500 ml of oxygen and ignited. The chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:
2CO+O2→2CO2
Calculate the volume of oxygen used and carbon dioxide formed in the above reaction.
2CO+O2→2CO2
To burn 2 volume of CO, 1 volume of O2 is required and 2 volume of CO2 is produced.
To burn 560 ml of CO, 560/2 = 280 ml of O2 will be required and 560 ml of CO2 will be produced.
Hence, volume of O2 required = 280 ml, volume of CO2 produced = 560 ml.
