6 moles of Na2CO3 is reacted with 10 moles of HCl. Find the volume of CO2 gas produced at STP.
The reaction is:
Na2CO3+2HCl→2NaCl+CO2+H2O
Given reaction is:
Na2CO3+2HCl→2NaCl+CO2+H2O
Divide the given moles of reactant by its the respective stoichiometric coefficient. So, ratio of
Na2CO3= 61=6, HCl=102=5 (division is minimum)
Therefore, HCl is the limiting reagent.
So, mol of HCl2=mol of CO2 produced
Mole of CO2 produced = 5 moles
Volume of CO2 produced at S.T.P. =5×22.4=112 L
