What volume of carbon(II) oxide is produced by reacting excess carbon with 10dm³ of oxygen?

  • A. 15dm³
  • B. 10dm³
  • C. 5dm³
  • D. 20dm³Correct

Explanation

2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g). Since the mole ratio of oxygen to carbon(II) oxide (from the balanced equation) is 1:2, 10dm³ of oxygen will produce 20dm³ of carbon(II) oxide.
