Question

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2 H2O How many grams of CO2 are required to react with exactly 3.00 mol of O2? 106 g 132 g 165 g 76.8 g

Answer 1

Hey there!:

Given the reaction:

2 C2H2 + 5 O2 → 4 CO2 + 2 H2O

5 moles O2 ------------- 4 moles CO2

3.00 moles O2 ---------- ( moles of CO2 ?? )

moles of CO2 = 3.00 * 4 / 5

moles of CO2 = 12 / 5

moles of CO2 = 2.4 moles

So, molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Therefore:

1 mole CO2 -------------- 44.01 g

2.4 moles CO2 ---------- ( mass of CO2 )

mass of CO2 = 2.4 * 44.01 / 1

mass of CO2 = 106 g

Answer A

Hope that helps!
