Question
At $$NTP,$$ $$1\,L$$ of $${O_2}$$ reacts with $$3\,L$$ of carbon monoxide. What will be the volume of $$CO$$ and $$C{O_2}$$ after the reaction ?
A.
$$1\,L\,\,CO,1\,L\,\,C{O_2}$$
B.
$$2\,L\,\,CO,2\,L\,\,C{O_2}$$
C.
$$2\,L\,\,CO,1\,L\,\,C{O_2}$$
D.
$$1\,L\,\,CO,2\,L\,\,C{O_2}$$
Answer :
$$1\,L\,\,CO,2\,L\,\,C{O_2}$$
Solution :
$$\mathop {2CO}\limits_{2\,vol} + \mathop {{O_2}}\limits_{1\,vol} \to \mathop {2C{O_2}}\limits_{2\,vol} $$
$$1\,vol$$ of $${O_2}$$ reacts with $$2\,vol$$ of $$CO$$
$$1\,L$$ of $${O_2}$$ reacts with $$2\,L$$ of $$CO$$
$$CO$$ left after reaction $$= 3 - 2 = 1 L$$
$$1\,L$$ of $${O_2}$$ produces $$2\,L$$ of $$C{O_2}.$$
Hence, after the reaction, $$CO = 1\,L,C{O_2} = 2\,L$$
