Calculate the volume of `O_(2)` and volume of air needed for combustion of `1 kg` carbon at `STP`. |
Answer» `underset(12 g)(C) + underset(32 g)(O_(2)) rarr CO_(2)` `12 g` of `C implies g` of `O_(2) = 1 mol` of `O_(2) = 22.4 L` at `STP` `1000 g` of `C = (22.4 xx 1000)/(12) = 1866.67 L "of" O_(2)` Air contains `= (20 % "of" O_(2) + 80% "of N_(2))` Volume of air = 5 times volume of `O_(2) = 5 xx 1866.67` `= 9333.33 L` |
