Question

What mass of carbon monoxide is produced when 1.50 moles of oxygen react completely in the following equation? 2C + O₂ → 2CO

Answer 1

84.0 g

i just did it and that was the answer

Answer 2

The answer to your question is 3 moles of CO

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass of CO = ?

moles of O₂ = 1.50

Balanced chemical reaction

2C + O₂ ⇒ 2CO

Process

To solve this problem use proportion and cross multiplication. Use the coefficients of the balanced equation.

1 mol of oxygen ------------------ 2 moles of CO

1.5 moles of oxygen ----------- x

x = (1.5 x 2) /1

-Simplification

x = 3 / 1

-Result

x = 3 moles of CO
