The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the volumes of 11 g of CO₂ and 28 g of CO at STP, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of CO₂ To find the number of moles of CO₂, we use the formula: \[ n = \frac{W}{M} \] Where: - \( W \) = mass of the gas (11 g for CO₂) - \( M \) = molar mass of CO₂ The molar mass of CO₂ is calculated as follows: - Carbon (C) = 12 g/mol - Oxygen (O) = 16 g/mol (and there are 2 oxygen atoms in CO₂) So, the molar mass of CO₂ is: \[ M_{CO₂} = 12 + (16 \times 2) = 12 + 32 = 44 \text{ g/mol} \] Now, substituting the values into the formula: \[ n_{CO₂} = \frac{11 \text{ g}}{44 \text{ g/mol}} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ mol} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of CO Next, we calculate the number of moles of CO using the same formula: \[ n_{CO} = \frac{W}{M} \] Where: - \( W \) = mass of the gas (28 g for CO) - \( M \) = molar mass of CO The molar mass of CO is calculated as follows: - Carbon (C) = 12 g/mol - Oxygen (O) = 16 g/mol So, the molar mass of CO is: \[ M_{CO} = 12 + 16 = 28 \text{ g/mol} \] Now, substituting the values into the formula: \[ n_{CO} = \frac{28 \text{ g}}{28 \text{ g/mol}} = 1 \text{ mol} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the volumes of CO₂ and CO at STP At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters. - Volume of CO₂: \[ V_{CO₂} = n_{CO₂} \times 22.4 \text{ L/mol} = \left(\frac{1}{4} \text{ mol}\right) \times 22.4 \text{ L/mol} = 5.6 \text{ L} \] - Volume of CO: \[ V_{CO} = n_{CO} \times 22.4 \text{ L/mol} = 1 \text{ mol} \times 22.4 \text{ L/mol} = 22.4 \text{ L} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the ratio of the volumes Now, we can find the ratio of the volumes of CO₂ to CO: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{V_{CO₂}}{V_{CO}} = \frac{5.6 \text{ L}}{22.4 \text{ L}} = \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answer The ratio of the volumes of 11 g of CO₂ and 28 g of CO at STP is: \[ \frac{1}{4} \]
