Calculate the volume of oxygen at STP that would be required to convert 5.2L of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide? [hint: 2CO +1/2 O₂ --- CO₂]

Open in App

Solution

Reaction:
2CO + O₂ $\to$ 2CO₂

At STP,
According to the equation, 2 moles of CO that is 2 $\times$ 22.4 = 44.8L require 1 mole that is 22.4L of oxygen.
Now, 5.2L of carbon monoxide will require = $\frac{22.4}{44.8} \times 5.2 = 2.6 L of oxygen$
