Question
200 cm3 of CO2 is collected at STP when a mixture of acetylene and oxygen is ignited. Calculate the volume of acetylene and oxygen at STP. in original mixture.
\[\ce{2C2H2_{(g)} + 5O2_{(g)} → 4CO2_{(g)} + 2H2O_{(g)}}\]
Solution
\[\ce{2C2H2_{(g)} + 5O2_{(g)} → 4CO2_{(g)} + 2H2O_{(g)}}\]
4 V CO2 is collected with 2 V C2H2
So, 200cm3 CO2 will be collected with = 100cm3 C2H2
Similarly, 4V of CO2 is produced by 5 V of O2
So, 200cm3 CO2 will be produced by = 250 ml of O2
