CO2+C⟶2CO Stoichoimetry ratio is 1:2 AT STP, P=1 atm,T=273 K,R=0.0821 Initial moles of CO2;n(CO2 initial )=RTPV =0.0821×2731×0.5=0.022 mole In final mixture no. of moles; n(CO2/CO mixture) =0.0821×2731×0.7=0.031 Increase in volume is by =0.031−0.022 =0.009 mole of gas Final no. of moles of CO i.e. n(CO final) n(CO final) =2n(CO2 initial )−n(CO2 final) =2(0.022−n(CO2 final )n(CO final) =0.044−2n(CO final )∴ Now, n(CO final) +n(CO final) =0.031n(CO2 final) =0.031−n(CO final) )… (iii) Substituting (ii) in eq. (i) n(CO final) =0.044−2[0.031−n(CO final) n(CO final) =0.044−0.062+2n(CO final ) n(CO final) =0.018 mol. Volume of CO=V=PnRT=10.018×0.0821×273 =0.40 Litre and volume of CO2=0.7 litre −0.4 litre =0.3 litre ∴CO2=300 mL,CO=400 mL
