Calculate the volume of carbon (IV)oxide measured at s.t.p, produced when 1 kg of potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is totally decomposed by heat? (G.M.V. at s.t.p 22.4 dm3, K = 39, O = 16, C = 12, H = 1)

Calculate the volume of carbon (IV)oxide measured at s.t.p, produced when 1 kg of potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is totally decomposed by heat?

(G.M.V. at s.t.p 22.4 dm³, K = 39, O = 16, C = 12, H = 1)

A 28 dm³
B 56 dm³
C 112 dm³
D 196 dm³

The correct answer is C. 112 dm³

2KHCOdm₃ â K₂CO₃ + H₂O + CO₂

2(39 + 1 + 12 + 48) 22.4 dm³

200 g 22.4 dm³ of CO₂

1000 g (1000) / (200) x 22.4 = 112 dm³
