Which of the following represents constant volume system?(a) C + O2 → CO2(b) CO + H2O → CO2 + H2(c) N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3(d) SO2 + 0.5O2 → SO3This question was addressed to me during an online exam.This interesting question is from Stoichiometry topic in division Rate Laws and Stoichiometry of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (b) CO + H2O → CO2 + H2

Explanation: Gas phase reactions in which the number of moles of the product is equal to the number of moles of REACTANT is a constant volume SYSTEM. In CO + H2O → CO2 + H2, 2 moles of reactants form 2 moles of product.
