1.	One mole of a mixture ofCO and CO2 requires exactly 20 gramof NaOH in solution for complete conversion of all the Cointo Na, CO, How many moles more of NaOH would itrequirefor conversion into Na2CO3 if the mixture (one mole) iscompletely oxidised to CO,(a) 0.2(c) 0.418.(b) 0.5uon ofwate
Answer» Let CO = x moles So, CO2= 1-x moles. Now 2NaOH + CO2 ----> Na2CO3 + H2O2 moles NaOH react with 1 mole CO2So, 20g NaOH = 0.5 Mole NaOH will react with 1/4 = 0.25 mole CO2 = 1-x moles So, x=0.75moles ie moles of CO = 0.75 moles.Now On oxidation CO + 1/2O2 -----> CO20.75------------------> CO2(0.75moles)Total Moles of CO2 = 0.25 + 0.75 = 1mole1 mole CO2 will react with 2 moles NaOH ie 40 x 2 = 80g.
