Question:
$\text{In a closed vessel, 50 ml of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3 \text{ completely reacts with 200 ml of } \text{C}_2 \text{ according to the following equation:}$\n\n$2\text{A}_2\text{B}_3\text{(g)} + 5\text{C}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 3\text{C}_3\text{B}_2\text{(g)} + \text{CA}_4\text{(g)}$\n\n$\text{The composition of the gaseous mixture in the system will be:}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: Apply the concept of limiting reagent}$\n\n$2\text{A}_2\text{B}_3 + 5\text{C}_2 \rightarrow 3\text{C}_3\text{B}_2 + \text{CA}_4$\n\n$\text{Initial volumes: } 50 \text{ ml of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3 \text{ and } 200 \text{ ml of } \text{C}_2$\n\n$\text{According to the balanced equation, for 2 volumes of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3\text{, } 5 \text{ volumes of } \text{C}_2 \text{ are required.}$\n\n$\text{So for } 50 \text{ ml of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3\text{, the required } \text{C}_2 \text{ should be:}$\n\n$\text{Required } \text{C}_2 = \frac{5}{2} \times 50 = 125 \text{ ml}$\n\n$\text{Since 200 ml of } \text{C}_2 \text{ is provided, which is more than required, } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3 \text{ will act as the limiting reagent.}$\n\n$\text{Unreacted } \text{C}_2 \text{ will be } 200 - 125 = 75 \text{ ml}$\n\n$\text{From the balanced equation:}$\n\n$\text{For 2 volumes of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3\text{, } 3 \text{ volumes of } \text{C}_3\text{B}_2 \text{ are produced.}$\n\n$\text{So for } 50 \text{ ml of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3\text{, the amount of } \text{C}_3\text{B}_2 \text{ produced will be:}$\n\n$\text{Volume of } \text{C}_3\text{B}_2 = \frac{3}{2} \times 50 = 75 \text{ ml}$\n\n$\text{Similarly, for 2 volumes of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3\text{, } 1 \text{ volume of } \text{CA}_4 \text{ is produced.}$\n\n$\text{So for } 50 \text{ ml of } \text{A}_2\text{B}_3\text{, the amount of } \text{CA}_4 \text{ produced will be:}$\n\n$\text{Volume of } \text{CA}_4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 = 25 \text{ ml}$\n\n$\text{Therefore, the composition of the gaseous mixture in the system will be:}$\n\n$75 \text{ ml of } \text{C}_2\text{, } 75 \text{ ml of } \text{C}_3\text{B}_2\text{, and } 25 \text{ ml of } \text{CA}_4$
