Calculate the volume(in L), at STP, of carbon dioxide produced by the complete combustion of 6.75 lbs of charcoal.

C(s) + O2(g) ⇒CO2(g)

Respuesta :

535.8 L volume(in L), at STP, of carbon dioxide produced by the complete combustion of 6.75 lbs of charcoal.

What is an ideal gas equation?

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Given:

[tex]C(s) + O_2(g)[/tex] ⇒[tex]CO_2(g)[/tex]

1 mole of [tex]CO_2(g)[/tex] is formed from 1 mole of charcoal, that means 1 mole of [tex]CO_2(g)[/tex] is formed from 12 g of charcoal.

1 lbs = 453.592 grams

6.75 lbs = 6.75 x 453.592 =3061.746g

So, [tex]CO_2(g)[/tex] formed from 3061.746g of charcoal is:

=[tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] x 3061.746g

=255.14 mol.

Now, at STP, the volume of 1 mol of gas =22.4 L

Volume of 255.14 mol of [tex]CO_2(g)[/tex] = 255.14 x 22.4 L

Volume of 255.14 mol of [tex]CO_2(g)[/tex] = 535.8 L

Hence, 535.8 L volume(in L), at STP, of carbon dioxide produced by the complete combustion of 6.75 lbs of charcoal.
