Give one method for industrial preparation and one for laboratory preparation of CO and CO2 each.
Answer :
(a) Carbon dioxide
In the laboratory, CO2 can be prepared by the action of dilute hydrochloric acid on calcium carbonate. The reaction involved is as follows:-
CaCO3 + 2HCl(aq)→ CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2o
CO2 is commercially prepared by heating limestone. The reaction involved is:-
CaCO3→ CaO + CO2↑
(b) Carbon monoxide
In the laboratory, CO is prepared by the dehydration of formic acid with conc. H2SO4 at 373k. the reaction involved is:-
HCOOH H2O + CO↑
CO is commercially prepared by [assing steam over hot coke. The temperature should be 473-1273K. the reaction is:-
C(s) + H2O → CO(g) + H2(g)
