How many thousand litres of carbon monoxide at 25∘C and 740 mm Hg are obtained as a by-product? Round of the answer to the nearest integer
(Cr=52, Fe=56, C=12, O=16)
224 kg chromite gives 112 kg CO
Thus, 236 kg chromite gives 112×236224 kg CO
= 118 kg CO = 4214.2857 mol
Using equation pV=nRT: T=298 K, p=740760atm
V = nRTP = 4214.2857×0.0821×298(740/760)
= 105.892×103L CO
