In a reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2C → Sn + 2CO\) the mass of coke containing 80% carbon required to reduce 0.302 kg of pure tin oxide is?
(Sn - 119, O - 16, C - 12).
0.40 kg
0.20 kg
0.06 kg
0.04 kg
Correct answer is C
In the reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2CO\)
From the equation above
2(12 g) carbon = 151 g \(SnO_{2}\)
24 g carbon =151 g \(SnO_{2}\)
= 0.302 kg \(SnO_{2}\) = 24/151g χ 0.0302 kg carbon = 0.048 kg carbon
Mass of coke is required not mass of carbon,so it is (0.048\(\times\)100)\(\div\)80 = 0.06
