Q. QUESTIONWhat volume of CO2(g) at STP is obtained by complete combustion of 6g carbon?[2023](A) 22.4dm3(B) 11.2dm3(C) 5.6dm3(D) 2.24dm3
Calculate moles of carbon: Calculate the moles of carbon used in the reaction.Molar mass of carbon (C) = 12g/mol.Moles of carbon = mass / molar mass = 6g/12g/mol=0.5mol.
Write chemical equation: Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of carbon.C(s)+O2(g)→CO2(g).From the equation, 1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO2.
Calculate moles of CO2: Calculate the moles of CO2 produced.Moles of CO2 = Moles of C = 0.5mol.
Calculate volume at STP: Calculate the volume of CO2 at STP.At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4dm3.Volume of CO2 = Moles of CO2× Volume per mole = 0.5mol×22.4dm3/mol=11.2dm3.
