what is the method to prepartion CO from these equation in the lab
CaCo3 + 2HCl → CaCl2+H2O+ CO2 (g)
Or CaCo3 ----(Heat 500 to 600 C0→ Cao +Co2 (g)
2- CO2 + H2 → CO (s) + H2O(g)
i have CaCo3 powder and i do not have any idea how to work in lab??? method???
Be patient. See my next response at the initial post.
What of this: CaCO3+H2=>Ca(OH)2+CO.
To prepare carbon monoxide (CO) in the lab from calcium carbonate (CaCO3), you have two options:
1. CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 (g):
This reaction involves the reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid to yield calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide gas. Follow these steps to carry out the reaction:
- Take a known amount of calcium carbonate powder (CaCO3).
- Prepare an appropriate volume of hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution with a known concentration.
- Pour the hydrochloric acid solution into a reaction vessel (such as a flask) and add the calcium carbonate powder gradually while stirring.
- Observe the effervescence, which indicates the formation of carbon dioxide gas.
- Allow the reaction to complete, which may take a few minutes to occur fully.
- Collect the carbon dioxide gas by passing it through a delivery tube (with the help of a water displacement method or by using a gas syringe).
- Once collected, you can use the carbon dioxide gas obtained for subsequent reactions to produce carbon monoxide, as mentioned in option 2.
2. CaCO3 ----(Heat 500 to 600 °C)→ CaO + CO2 (g):
This method involves heating calcium carbonate to a high temperature. The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate produces calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas. Follow these steps to carry out the reaction:
- Place a known amount of calcium carbonate powder (CaCO3) in an appropriate reaction vessel such as a crucible or a heat-resistant glass tube.
- Heat the reaction vessel containing the calcium carbonate powder to a temperature range of 500 to 600 degrees Celsius using a Bunsen burner or a suitable heating apparatus.
- Observe the release of carbon dioxide gas as indicated by effervescence.
- Collect the carbon dioxide gas in the same manner as mentioned in option 1.
- Once the carbon dioxide gas is obtained, you can use it in the next step to produce carbon monoxide (CO) by reacting it with hydrogen (H2).
3. CO2 + H2 → CO (s) + H2O (g):
This reaction involves the reaction of carbon dioxide gas with hydrogen gas to produce carbon monoxide gas and water vapor. Follow these steps to carry out the reaction:
- Take the collected carbon dioxide gas (CO2) from either option 1 or 2.
- Prepare a known volume of hydrogen gas (H2) in a gas syringe or by using another suitable method.
- Mix the carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen gas in a suitable reaction vessel.
- Provide suitable reaction conditions, such as heating or catalysis, to facilitate the reaction.
- Observe the formation of carbon monoxide gas and water vapor.
- Collect the carbon monoxide gas (CO) by passing it through a suitable collection system, such as water displacement or gas syringe.
Remember to exercise caution and adhere to safety protocols while working in the lab, such as wearing appropriate protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area.
