Assuming all volume measurements are made at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of carbon monoxide gas would it take to react completely with 11.8 liters of oxygen gas? Show all of the work used to solve this problem.

Unbalanced equation: CO(g) + O2 (g) CO2 (g)

Question

Assuming all volume measurements are made at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of carbon monoxide gas would it take to react completely with 11.8 liters of oxygen gas? Show all of the work used to solve this problem.

Unbalanced equation: CO(g) + O2 (g)  CO2 (g)

unklerhaukus · Answer

$$2CO_{(g)}+O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2CO_{2(g)}  $$
It will take twice the amount of carbon-dioxide as oxygen
$$2\times 11.8(L)O_2 =23.6(L)CO_2 $$
