Question

1. Given the following reaction, answer the questions that follow:

C3H8+5 02
3 CO₂ + 4H₂O
a) If you begin with 3.5 moles of C3H8 and 6.2 moles of O₂, find the moles of carbon dioxide produced_
b) Find the mass of CO₂ produced using your work in step (a) above.

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation you can see 5 mole O2 results in 3 moles CO2

( this is the limiting reagent because C3H8 : O2 is 1:5)

6.2 / 5 * 3 = 3.72 moles CO2 produced

CO2 weighs ~ 44 gm/mole 44 gm/mole * 3.72 mole = 163.68 gm of CO2
