About _____________ Nm3 of air will be required for the complete combustion of 2Nm3 of CO?

Correct answer: D. 5

  • A. 2
  • B. 3
  • C. 4
  • D. 5

Explanation

Complete combustion follows CO + ½O₂ → CO₂, so 2 Nm³ of CO needs 1 Nm³ of oxygen. Since air contains about 21% oxygen by volume, the required air is 1/0.21 ≈ 4.8 Nm³, or about 5 Nm³.
