For the given reaction, what volume of CO2 can be produced from 3.1 L of O2 , assuming an excess of CO ? Assume the temperature and pressure remain constant. 2CO(g)+O2(g)⟶2CO2(g) 𝑉= L

Question

I need help with the steps to finding the volume in Liters

Answer 1

You can set this up using conversion factors. basically, you have balanced the reaction already, therefore you can look at is as "for every 1 mole of O2 that is used up, there will be 2 moles of CO2 produced". So you just multiply 3.1 x 2 = 6.2L.
