Automobile catalytic converters use a platinum catalyst to reduce air pollution by changing emissions such as carbon monoxide, CO(g), into carbon dioxide, CO2(g). The uncatalyzed reaction is represented by the balanced equation below.2CO(g) O2(g) 2CO2(g) +heat. determine the mass of O2(g) required to completely react with 784g moles of CO(g) during this reaction.

448 g of will be required to completely react with 784g moles of CO(g) during this reaction.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

The balanced chemical equation is:

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of require  = 1 mole of

Thus 28 moles of will require=  of

Mass of

Thus 448g of will be required to completely react with 784g moles of CO(g) during this reaction.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
