MCQ
$20\,mL$ of $CO_2$ gas are passed over excess of red hot coke. the volume of $CO$ evolved is ............. $\mathrm{mL}$

$CO_{2(g)} + C_{(s)} \to  2CO_{(g)}$

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $30$
  • $40$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$40$
d
$20 \mathrm{mL}$ of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ gas is passed over red hot coke. The volume of carbon monoxide evolved is $40$ $mL$.

$\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+C(s) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}(g)$

$1$ mole of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ gas will form $2$ moles of $\mathrm{CO}$ gas.

since volume is proportional to number of moles,

$20 \mathrm{mL}$ of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ gas will form $2 \times 20=40 \mathrm{mL}$ of $\mathrm{CO}$ gas.
