Question:

Carbon monoxide and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide with an energy release of 280 kJ/mol of CO according to the reaction 2(CO) + O2 → 2(CO2). Two mol of CO and one mol of O2 at 300 K are confined in an 80-L container; the combustion reaction is initiated with a spark.

(a) What is the pressure in the container prior to the reaction?

(b) If the reaction proceeds adiabatically, what are the final temperature and pressure?

(c) If the resulting CO2 gas is cooled to 0oC, what is the pressure in the container?
