Question

How many grams of CO would be required to generate 635 g CO2

Answer 1

The amount of CO that would be required to generate 635 g of CO2 will be 404.14 g

Stoichiometric problem

First, let us get the equation of the reaction:

$2CO + O_2 -- > 2CO_2$

From the equation, we can see that the mole ratio of CO to that of CO2 is 1:1.

635 g of CO2 is to be generated.

Mole of 635 g CO2 = mass/molar mass = 635/44.01 = 14.43 moles

Thus, the equivalent mole of CO required will also be 14.43 moles.

Mass of 14.43 moles CO = moles x molar mass = 14.43 x 28.01 = 404.14 g

Hence, 404.14 g of CO will be required to produce 635 g of CO2
