C + 2H2SO4 ⟶ CO2 + 2H2O + 2SO2
12 g 196 g
(i) 196 g of sulphuric acid oxidizes 12 g carbon
∴ 49 g of sulphuric acid will oxidize = 12\over196[/katek] × 49
= 3 g
Hence, 3 g of carbon is oxidized.
(ii) 12 g carbon liberates 2 vol = (2 x 22.4) lit of SO2
∴ 3 g of carbon will liberate 2 × 22.4\over12[/katek] × 3
= 11.2 lit of SO2.
Hence, 11.2 lit of SO2 is liberated.
