Given the balanced equation: C2H4 + 3O2 �¨ 2CO2 + 2H2O

How many liters of CO2 are produced when 15 liters of O2 are consumed?

3 answers

As the volume of a gas is directly related to the number of moles then

as 3 moles of O2-> 2 moles of CO2

then 3 volumes of O2 -> 2 volumes of CO2

hence 15 volumes of O2 -> ? volumes of CO2
10 Liters.
