If a sample of 70.0 g of carbon oxide was reacted completely with 32.0 g of oxygen how many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced
Please answer it is greatly appreciated!

Respuesta :

2.32 moles of carbon dioxide will be produced .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , a sample of 70.0 g of carbon oxide was reacted completely with 32.0 g of oxygen. We need to find how many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced . Let's find out:

According to question , given equation of reaction is :

[tex]O_2+2CO[/tex] ⇒ [tex]2CO_2[/tex]

Now , Mass are given as :

[tex]O_2 = 16(2)=32g[/tex]

[tex]CO=12+16=28g[/tex]

[tex]CO_2=12+32=44g[/tex]

According to reaction , 32 g of [tex]O_2[/tex] + 2(28 g of CO ) gives 2( 44 g of [tex]CO_2[/tex] ) or ,

32 g of [tex]O_2[/tex] + 56 g of CO  gives 88 g of [tex]CO_2[/tex]

So ,  32 g of [tex]O_2[/tex] + 70 g of CO  gives :

[tex]70+32=102g[/tex]

Moles of  [tex]CO_2[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{102}{44 }[/tex]

Moles of  [tex]CO_2[/tex]  = [tex]2.32[/tex]

Therefore , 2.32 moles of carbon dioxide will be produced .

Answer: it’s 2.00 moles
