Question

how many grams of carbon is required to produce 100g of co2​

Answer 1

GiveN :-

• How many grams of carbon is required to produce 100g of $\sf CO_2$.

SolutioN :-

We know that Carbon reacts with Oxygen to form Carbon dioxide . The equation of reaction of carbon with oxygen is ,

Word equation :-

$\boxed{ \pink{ \sf Carbon + Oxygen \to Carbon dioxide }}$

Chemical equation :-

$\boxed{ \pink{ \sf C \gray{(g)}+ O_2 \gray{(g)}\to CO_2 \gray{(g)} }}$

$\rule{200}2$

Molecular Mass :-

• Carbon - 12 grams.

• Oxygen - 16 grams .

• Carbon dioxide - 44 grams .

$\rule{200}2$

$\purple{\bigstar} \underline{\boldsymbol{ Using\ Unitary \ Method }}$

$\implies \textsf{\gray{ 44 g of Carbon dioxide is produced by 12 g of Carbon. }}\\\implies\textsf{\gray{ 1 g of Carbon dioxide is given by 12/44 g of Carbon.}}\\\implies \textsf{\gray{ Therefore , 100 g of Carbon dioxide is produced from }}\gray{\sf \dfrac{12}{44}\times 100 g }=\sf \pink{27.27\ grams } of \ Carbon.$
