Answer:
Complete combustion of 0.1mol of monocarboxylic acid requires V litres of O2 at dtc. and the reaction produces 0.3mol of CO2 and 0.2mol of H2O.
What is the value of V?
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is
[tex]HCOOH+O_2 -> 2CO_2+2H_2O\\[/tex]
1mol. of acid reacts with 1mol of [tex]O_2[/tex] and produce 2mol. of CO2 and 2mol. of H2O.
Given,
0.1mol of acid requires how many litres of oxygen at STP?
0.1mol of acid requires 0.1mol of oxygen.
Since, 1mol of oxygen at STP occupies 22.4L of volume.
Hence, the volume occupied by 0.1mol of oxygen is -- 2.24L
Answer is:
The value of V is 2.24L.
