Question

Carbon dioxide and water are produced when ethanol, C2H5OH, is burned in oxygen. The number of moles of CO2 that is produced when burning 6.0 mol of ethanol is

Answer 1

The number of moles of CO₂ that is produced when burning 6.0 mol of ethanol is 12 mol.

What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

Now we have to write the balanced equation

C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

We can see that every 1 mole of ethanol we will get 2 mole of CO₂.

So 6.0 mol of ethanol we will get = 6.0 × 2.0

                                                       = 12 mol of CO₂

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The number of moles of CO₂ that is produced when burning 6.0 mol of ethanol is 12 mol.
