How much gas will be released during the complete combustion of 600 g of coal?

The coal combustion reaction is described by the following chemical reaction equation.

C + O2 = CO2;

When 1 mole of coal is burned, 1 mole of its oxide is synthesized.

Let’s calculate the chemical amount of a substance in 600 grams of carbon.

M C = 12 grams / mol;

N C = 600/12 = 50 mol;

The same amount of carbon monoxide will be obtained.

Let’s calculate its volume.

One liter of ideal gas under normal conditions assumes a volume of 22.4 liters

V CO2 = 50 x 22.4 = 1 120 liters;
