$0.8 \text{ dm}^3$ of CO, $0.6 \text{ dm}^3$ of $CO_2$
The reaction between carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) gas and hot coke (carbon, $C$) produces carbon monoxide (CO) gas. The balanced chemical equation is:
$CO_2(g) + C(s) \rightarrow 2CO(g)$
This equation shows that 1 volume of $CO_2$ reacts to produce 2 volumes of CO. This results in a net increase in the volume of gaseous products compared to the reactant consumed.
Let the initial volume of $CO_2$ gas be $V_{CO_2, initial} = 1 \text{ dm}^3$. Let $x$ represent the volume of $CO_2$ that reacts completely.
The total final volume of the gaseous mixture ($V_{final}$) is the sum of the unreacted $CO_2$ and the produced CO:
$V_{final} = (\text{Volume of } CO_2 \text{ remaining}) + (\text{Volume of } CO \text{ produced})$
$V_{final} = (1 - x) + 2x$
$V_{final} = 1 + x$
The problem states that the final volume after the complete reaction is $1.4 \text{ dm}^3$. Therefore:
$1 + x = 1.4 \text{ dm}^3$
Solving for $x$ gives:
$x = 1.4 - 1 = 0.4 \text{ dm}^3$
Now, we calculate the volume of each gas present in the final mixture:
Thus, the composition of the gaseous mixture at STP is $0.8 \text{ dm}^3$ of CO and $0.6 \text{ dm}^3$ of $CO_2$.
