Question

We know that balancing of a chemical equation is entirely based on law of conservation of mass. However the concept of Principle of Atom Conservation (POAC) can also be related to law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction. So, POAC can also act as a technique for balancing a chemical equation. For example, for a reaction :
$A B C_{3} \to A B + C_{2}$
On applying POAC for A, B & C and relating the 3 equations, we get:
$\frac{n_{A B C_{3}}}{2} = \frac{n_{A B}}{2} = \frac{n_{C_{2}}}{3}$
$(n_{x} :$ number of moles of X)
Thus, the coefficients of $A B C_{3}, A B & C_{2}$ in the balanced chemical equation will be 2, 2 & 3 respectively and the balanced chemical equation can bbe represented as:
$2 A B C_{3} \to 2 A B + 3 C_{2}$
Now answer the following question:

If the weight ratio of $C$ and $O_{2}$ present is 1 : 2 and both of reactants completely consume and form $C O$ and $C O_{2}$ and we will obtain a gaseous mixture of $C O$ and $C O_{2}$ . What would be the weight ratio of $C O$ an $C O_{2}$ in mixture.

Solution

The correct option is B 7 : 11
$C + O_{2} \to C O + C O_{2}$
w 2w x g y g

POAC for C
$\frac{w}{12} = \frac{x}{28} + \frac{y}{44}$
$\frac{w}{3} = \frac{x}{7} + \frac{y}{11}$ ...(1)

POAC for O
$2 \times \frac{2 w}{32} = \frac{x}{28} + 2 \times \frac{y}{44}$
$\frac{w}{4} = \frac{x}{14} + \frac{y}{11}$ ...(2)

So now,
$\frac{3 y}{11} + \frac{3 x}{7} = \frac{4 x}{14} + \frac{4 y}{11}$
$\frac{3 x}{7} - \frac{2 x}{7} = \frac{y}{11}$
$\frac{x}{7} = \frac{y}{11} \frac{x}{y} = 7 : 11$

Q. We know that balancing of a chemical equation is entirely based on law of conservation of mass. However the concept of Principle of Atom Conservation (POAC) can also be related to law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction. So, POAC can also act as a technique for balancing a chemical equation. For example, for a reaction :

On applying POAC for A, B & C and relating the 3 equations, we get:

\frac{n_{A B C_{3}}}{2} = \frac{n_{A B}}{2} = \frac{n_{C_{2}}}{3}

(n_{x} :
