Find the volume of CO required to reduce 0.25 mole ferric oxide as per the given equation
(a) 16.8 dm3
(b) 67.2 dm3
(c) 22.4 dm3
(d) 44.8 dm3
In the reaction, 1 mole of ferric oxide reacts with 3 moles of CO.
So, 0.25 mole of ferric oxide reacts with moles of CO = 3(0.25) = 0.75 mol
Volume of 1 mole = 22.4 L
Volume of 0.75 mol = 22.4 x 0.75 = 16.8 L
1 L = 1 dm3
So, 16.8 L = 16.8 dm3
Correct option is (a).
