Question

What mass of co2 will be formed when 6g of carbon burnt in 32g of oxygen?

Answer 1

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed or mass of reactants is always equal to that of products. C + O2 → CO2 Carbon + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide Mass of reactants = 12 + 32 = 44 g Mass of Product (CO2) = 44 g (One mole of C reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to form 1 mole of CO2)R

Answer 2

Answer:22g CO_2

Explanation:

C + O_2 = CO_2

12g carbon reacts with 32g oxygen

6g carbon reacts with (32*6)/12 g O_2 or 16g O_2

Here, C is limiting reactant.

12g C formes 44g CO_2

Then, 6g C formes (44*6)/12g CO_2 or 22g CO_2
