How can we write CO+(1/2)O2 gives rise to CO2

Open in App

Solution

It is actually to show the correct stochiomettic ratio of CO and O2.It says that every one mole of CO requires half mole of O2 to give one mole of CO2.

The actually reaction can be written as

2CO + O2 -----> 2CO2

How can we write

CO +1/2 O2 ---> CO2

Which one of the following chemical equations represent combustion reactions?

C + O_{2} \to C O_{2}

B: $C + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} \to C O$

C: $C O + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} \to C O_{2}$

From the thermo chemical reactions,

$C_{(g r a p h i t e)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} \to C O; Δ H = - 110.5 K J$

$C O + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} \to C O_{2}; Δ H = - 283.2 K J .$

$Δ H$ for the reaction, $C_{(g r a p h i t e)} + O_{2} \to C O_{2}$ is:

From the thermochemical reactions,

C + 1/2O₂ → CO; ∆H = -110.5 kJ

CO + 1/2O₂→ CO₂; ∆H = -283.2 kJ

The heat of reaction C + O₂ → CO₂ is:
