Chapter 11.4, Problem 5PPB

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of $\text{CO}\text{and}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ gas reactants has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

This is a gas stoichiometry problem that requires knowledge of Avogadro’s law to solve.

Avogadro’s law states that the volume of a sample of gas at constant temperature and pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V=}{\text{K}}_{\text{3}}\text{n}\text{or}\\ \frac{\text{V}}{\text{n}}\text{=}{\text{K}}_{\text{3}}\left(\text{at constant temperature and pressure}\right)\end{array}$

Avogadro’s law. The volume of a sample of gas is directly proportional to the number

of moles.
