Question

Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when -
1. 1 mole of carbon is burnt in air.
2. I mole of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
3. 2 moles of carbon are burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can conclude from the equation when 1 mole of carbon burnt in 1 mole of dioxygen (molecular mass = 32), gives rise to 1 mole of carbon dioxide (molecular mass=44). Now according to the question only 16g of dioxygen is available for the reaction. Number of moles of Oxygen = 1632= 0.5 moles.

Answer 2

Answer:

We can conclude from the equation when 1 mole of carbon burnt in 1 mole of dioxygen (molecular mass = 32), gives rise to 1 mole of carbon dioxide (molecular mass=44). Now according to the question only 16g of dioxygen is available for the reaction. Number of moles of Oxygen = 1632= 0.5 moles.
