Question

You are given 12.33 moles of O2. How many moles of CO2 can be made?

Answer 1

Answer: The moles of carbon dioxide gas formed is 12.33 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Moles of oxygen gas = 12.33 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide follows:

`C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2`

By stoichiometry of the reaction;

1 mole of oxygen gas produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas.

So, 12.33 moles of oxygen gas will produce =
`(1)/(1)* 12.33=12.33mol` of carbon dioxide gas.

Hence, the moles of carbon dioxide gas formed is 12.33 moles.
