What volume of carbon dioxide gas is produced when 3.00 L of oxygen gas react with 7.5 L of carbon monoxide in the following equation?
2 CO(g) + O₂(g) $\rarr$ 2 CO₂(g)

Question

What volume of carbon dioxide gas is produced when 3.00 L of oxygen gas react with 7.5 L of carbon monoxide in the following equation? 2 CO(g)+ O₂(g)$\rarr$ 2 CO₂(g)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is balanced as written: 2 CO(g) + O2(g) → 2 CO2(g). According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, 2 volumes of CO react with 1 volume of O2 to produce 2 volumes of CO2. Since the reaction is limited by the amount of O2 (3.00 L of O2 can react with 6.00 L of CO to produce 6.00 L of CO2), and there is excess CO, the volume of CO2 produced is 6.00 L.
