Answer:
Moles of CO₂ produced = 10 mol
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles C₄H₁₀O = 14 mol
Number of moles of O₂ = 15 mol
Moles of CO₂ produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
C₄H₁₀O + 6O₂ → 4CO₂ + 5H₂O
Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ with both reactants.
C₄H₁₀O : CO₂
1 : 4
14 ; 4×14 = 56 mol
O₂ : CO₂
6 : 4
15 : 4/6×15 = 10 mol
So oxygen will be limiting reactant and moles of CO₂ produce are 10.
