Question

Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when 1 mole of carbon is burnt in 16g of dioxygen.​

Answer 1

Answer:

carbon is produced 56.7g

Answer 2

Answer:

0.5 moles.

Explanation:

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 = \[\dfrac{16}{32}\]= 0.5 moles.
