The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: To determine the volume of \( {CO}_2 \) released, we need to know the reaction that releases the gas and its stoichiometry. Assume we are dealing with a complete decomposition reaction where 1 mole of a compound like calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) decomposes to release 1 mole of \( {CO}_2 \). 
Step 2: According to the ideal gas law at standard conditions (STP), 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4L. 
Step 3: In the case of 1 mole of \( {CO}_2 \), the volume will be 22.4L. However, for the given amount of the compound (assuming it's 1/20th of a mole), the volume of \( {CO}_2 \) will be: \[ {Volume of CO}_2 = \frac{22.4L}{20} = 1.12L \] Therefore, the volume of \( {CO}_2 \) released is 1.12L.
