Question 32

Give one method for industrial preparation and one for laboratory preparation of CO and CO2 each.

Answer

Caron 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)  +  CO 2(g)   +  H2O (l)

CO2 is commercially prepared by heating limestone. The reaction involved is as follows:

CaCO3     CaO  + CO2

Caron monoxide

In the laboratory, CO is prepared by the dehydration of formic acid with conc. H2SO4, at 373 K. The reaction involved is as follows:
