Detailed Solution
Number of moles of CO2 and CO in the mixture = 1Weight of NaOH required to convert all CO2 into Na2CO3 = 20g moles of CO in the initial mixture = (1 - 0.25)= 0.75Let us assume that all this CO gets Oxidized to CO2 and then reacts with NaOH to get converted to Na2CO3X2 = 0.75 molesmoles of CO2 formed due to oxiditation of 'CO' = 0.75= 60gWt of NaOH required to neutralize the CO2 obtained by the oxidation of CO = 60g
