How much carbon monoxide will be obtained when carbon interacts with 10 liters of oxygen?

The oxidation reaction of carbon is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

C + O2 = CO2;

Carbon reacts with oxygen in the same molar ratio.

The same amount of carbon dioxide will be synthesized.

When 10 liters of oxygen interact, the same amount and, consequently, the volume of carbon dioxide will be obtained. Its volume will be 10 liters.

Let’s calculate the amount of oxygen.

To do this, divide the volume of gas by the volume of 1 mole of gas (22.4 liters).

N O2 = 10 / 22.4 = 0.446 mol;
