Question

2Co + O2 = 2CO2

In this reaction 10.8 mole of carbon dioxide was produced .calculate the number of moles of carbon monoxide used in this reaction to produce such number of moles of carbon dioxide

Answer 1

Sonce the stoichiometric coefficients for both carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are the same, the moles of CO2 formed and the moles of CO used are the same, therefore if 10,8 mole of carbon dioxide are being produced, then you would need 10,8 moles of carbon monozide
