Excess hot concentrated sulphuric acid reacts completely with 0.50 mol of carbon according to C+2HX2SOX4COX2+2SOX2+2HX2O. The water is condensed. The total volume of gases collected at STP (molar volume 22.4 L/mol) is
A22.4 L
B33.6 L
C67.2 L
D44.8 L
Answer: B
0.50 mol of C gives 0.50 mol COX2 and 1.00 mol SOX2, i.e. 1.50 mol of gas. Volume = 1.50×22.4=33.6 L.
