Question

How many moles of tungsten carbide will be produced if plenty of tungsten is reacted with 1.25 moles of carbon?

Answer 1

1.25 moles of tungsten carbide

Step-by-step explanation:

Tungsten carbide, WC, is a substance that is produced prom carbon and tungsten as follows:

W + C → WC

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of Carbon produce 1 mole of tungsten carbide. That means if 1.25 moles of carbon are added in excess of tungsten, the moles of tungsten carbide produced are:

1.25 moles of tungsten carbide
