The combustion of carbon in oxygen produces carbon monoxide (CO) with a chemical amount

The combustion of carbon in oxygen produces carbon monoxide (CO) with a chemical amount of 0.17 mol. Calculate the volume of oxygen.

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

C + ½ O2 = CO;

To get 0.17 mol of carbon monoxide, you need to take 0.17 / 2 = 0.085 mol of oxygen.

Let’s find its volume.

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

V O2 = 0.085 x 22.4 = 1.904 liters;
