Question

2 CO (g) + O2(g) -> 2 CO2 (g) The formation of CO2 from CO and oxygen, how many liters of CO2 are produced by the reaction of 8 mols of O2 with an excess of carbon monoxide

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is volume = 358.4 L

Explanation:

Data

volume of CO₂ = ?

moles of O₂ = 8

moles of CO = excess

Balanced chemical reaction

                 2 CO  +  O₂   ⇒   2 CO₂

Process

1.- Calculate the moles of CO₂

                 1 mol of O₂ ------------------ 2 moles of CO₂

                8 moles of O₂ -------------- x

                                      x = (8 x 2) / 1

                                      x = 16 moles of CO₂

2.- Calculate the volume of CO₂

                 1 mol of CO₂ ----------------- 22.4 L

                16 moles of CO₂ ------------  x

                                    x = (16 x 22.4) / 1

                                    x = 358.4 L
