Select the correct answer.

When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it sometimes reacts with water to form carbonic acid as in this balanced equation:

CO2 + H2O → H2CO3.

If 495 milliliters of carbon dioxide at 25°C and 101.3 kilopascals reacts with excess water, what is the theoretical yield of carbonic acid?

Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

Pressure of the gas = 101.3 kilopascal

Volume of the gas = 495 mL = 0.495 L

Temperature of the gas = 25°C = 298 K(0°C = 273 K)

Value of gas constant in in kilopascals =8.314 kPa L\K mol

According to the ideal gas equation:'

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

[tex]n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{101.3 kPa\times 0.495 L}{8.314 kPa L/K mol\times 298 K}=0.0202 mol[/tex]Moles of carbon-dioxide gas = 0.0202 moles

[tex]CO_2+H_2O\rightarrow H_2CO_3[/tex].

According to reaction 1 mole of [tex]CO_2[/tex] gas gives 1 moles [tex]H_2CO_3[/tex], then 0.0202 moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] will produce :[tex]\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0202 [/tex] moles of [tex]H_2CO_3[/tex] that 0.0202 moles.

Mass of [tex]H_2CO_3[/tex] = Moles  Molar mass of [tex]H_2CO_3[/tex]

= [tex]0.0202 moles\times 62 g/mol=1.2524 g[/tex]

From the options given the closest value to our answer is of option(C).

Hence ,the correct answer is option C.
