Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
2CO(g)+O2(g)-->2CO2(g)
what is the mole ration of CO(g) to CO2(g)in this reaction?
(1)1:1
(2)1:2
(3)2:1
(4)3:2
Idenrb
To determine the mole ratio of CO(g) to CO2(g) in the given balanced equation, we can look at the coefficients of the reactants and products.
In the balanced equation, the coefficient of CO is 2, and the coefficient of CO2 is also 2. This means that for every 2 moles of CO, 2 moles of CO2 are produced or consumed in the reaction.
Thus, the mole ratio of CO(g) to CO2(g) in this reaction is 2:2, which can be simplified to 1:1.
Therefore, the correct answer is (1) 1:1.
