Does the volume change when the reactions occur? [closed]

I have this reaction (all substances are gaseous):

\begin{align} \ce{A + 4.5 B &→ C + 2 D + 2 E}\tag{R1}\\ \ce{C + 7.5 B &→ 8 D + 2 E}\tag{R2} \end{align}

Does the volume change when the reactions has occurred? Because if so, the concentration changes too, right?

• The volume changes can only be predicted if at least one of the substances A, B, C, D and E is gaseous. If the substances are not gaseous, no predictions can be made. Nov 18, 2019 at 11:04

• I don't understand why sometimes questions that classify as homework (of course they might even be genuine users Q) get answered. OP poses a trivial question without attempts/discussion at all. Nov 19, 2019 at 9:47

A volume change from a reaction occurs if the difference in mole of gases does not equal to $$0$$
In order to find the answer for your question, we will have to add both reactions together, resulting in: $$\ce{A + 4.5 B + C + 7.5 B -> C + 2 D + 2 E + 8 D + 2E}$$ We can shorten the reaction by adding up all duplicates and removing both $$\ce{C}$$ from each side, resulting in: $$\ce{A + 12 B -> 10 D + 4E}$$ Now if we calculate the difference in mole gasses we get: $$\Delta n = \pu{(10 + 4)mol} - \pu{(1 + 12)mol} = \pu{1 mol}$$ Based on the positiv difference in mole of gasses we can say that the reaction will change in volume, that is it will expand.
