Question

How many moles of CO2 can form from 5.1 moles of C3H8 and abundant O2 in the equation:

C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O

Answer 1

15.3 moles of CO₂ formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CO₂ formed = ?

Number of moles of C₃H₈ react = 5.1 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with C₃H₈.

C₃H₈ : CO₂

1 : 3

5.1 : 3/1×5.1 = 15.3 mol
