Grade 12th passOrganic Chemistry2g of mixture of CO and CO2 on reaction with excess I2O5 produced 2.54g I2.Whay would be the mass % of CO2 in the original mixture? Somasree Dey 8 Years agoGrade 12th pass
Arun8 Years agoDear student 5 CO + I2O5 ------> 5 CO2 + I2 1 mol of I2 = 1 mol of I2O5 = 5 mol of CO Hence mol of CO = 5 * 2.54/254 = 0.05 Mass of CO = 0.05 * 28 = 1.4 gm Mass of CO2 = 2 - 1.4 = 0.6 gm Mass % of CO2 = 30% RegardsArun (askIITians forum expert)
