What volume of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\) at STP is obtained by complete combustion of \(6 \mathrm{~g}\) carbon?

  1. A \(22.4 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
  2. B \(11.2 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
  3. C \(5.6 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
  4. D \(2.24 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(11.2 \mathrm{dm}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{C}_{(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \)
\( 1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{C} \equiv 1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \)
\( 6 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{C}=0.5 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{C} \)
\( \therefore 0.5 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{C} \equiv 0.5 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \)
\( \text {At STP, } 1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}=22.4 \mathrm{dm}^3 \)
\( \therefore 0.5 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{CO} 2(\mathrm{~g})=11.2 \mathrm{dm}^3\)
