The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many liters of CO₂ gas are evolved when 6 moles of FeC₂O₄ react with 2 moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ in an acidic medium. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Chemical Equation:** The balanced equation for the reaction is: \[ K_2Cr_2O_7 + 7FeC_2O_4 + 14H^+ \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7Fe^{2+} + 2K^+ + 7H_2O + 4CO_2 \] This shows that 1 mole of K₂Cr₂O₇ reacts with 7 moles of FeC₂O₄ to produce 4 moles of CO₂. 2. **Determine the Stoichiometric Ratios:** From the balanced equation, we see that: - 1 mole of K₂Cr₂O₇ produces 4 moles of CO₂. - 7 moles of FeC₂O₄ are needed for 1 mole of K₂Cr₂O₇. 3. **Identify the Limiting Reagent:** We have 6 moles of FeC₂O₄ and 2 moles of K₂Cr₂O₇. - To react with 6 moles of FeC₂O₄, we need: \[ \frac{6 \text{ moles FeC}_2\text{O}_4}{7} = \frac{6}{7} \text{ moles of K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 \approx 0.857 \text{ moles} \] - Since we have 2 moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ available, which is more than needed, FeC₂O₄ is not the limiting reagent. - However, we can also calculate how much FeC₂O₄ is required for 2 moles of K₂Cr₂O₇: \[ 2 \text{ moles of K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 \times 7 \text{ moles of FeC}_2\text{O}_4 = 14 \text{ moles of FeC}_2\text{O}_4 \] - Since we only have 6 moles of FeC₂O₄, K₂Cr₂O₇ is the limiting reagent. 4. **Calculate the Moles of CO₂ Produced:** From the stoichiometry of the reaction: - 1 mole of K₂Cr₂O₇ produces 4 moles of CO₂. - Therefore, 2 moles of K₂Cr₂O₇ will produce: \[ 2 \text{ moles of K}_2\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 \times 4 \text{ moles of CO}_2 = 8 \text{ moles of CO}_2 \] 5. **Convert Moles of CO₂ to Volume at STP:** At standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters. Thus, the volume of 8 moles of CO₂ is: \[ 8 \text{ moles of CO}_2 \times 22.4 \text{ L/mole} = 179.2 \text{ liters} \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is **179.2 liters**. ---
