Question

C + O2 → CO2 ,

what is the maximum amount of CO2 which could be formed from 15.76 g of C and 0.116 mol of O2?
Answer in units of g

Answer 1

First, if you want to get the amount of production from the equation, you need to use the units of mol. So, we need to know the molar mass of C which is 15.75/12=1.31 mol. Then we need to use the less part(O2) to get the production amount which is 0.116 mol. Then we can get the answer in units of g: 0.116*(12+16*2)=5.104 g.
