Can you help me with this problem on the mond process?

Question

The Mond process produces pure nickel via the thermal decomposition of Ni(CO)4.

 

The reaction is:

Ni(CO)4==>Ni(s) + 4CO(g)

 

What volume of CO is formed from the complete decomposition of 444g Ni(CO)4 at 752 torr and 22°C?

 

A. 255L

 

B. 20.2L

 

C. 63.7L

 

D.11.0L

 

E. 0.356L

Answer 1

Please review the ideal gas equation. PV=nRT

 

You need solve V from the equation.  The number of moles 'n' can be calculated based on the reaction and the given weigh of reactant and its molecular weight.  The other terms are known. Pay attention to the units.

 

Good luck.
