Question

C & O combine forms co &co2 than calculate the ratio oxygen that combine with 6g of carbon each

Answer 1

Answer:

use separate reactions for each given process, and don't rely on limiting reagent concept when more than one reaction is possible:

Cx+0.5O20.5xCy+O2y⟶COx⟶CO2y(1)(2)(1)Cx+0.5OX20.5x⟶COx(2)Cy+OX2y⟶COX2y

let xx mol be the amount of carbon participating in forming carbon monoxide COCO, and yy mol -- the amount of carbon participating in forming carbon dioxide CO
