4.1g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of carbon dioxide = 15g
Mass of oxygen gas = 11g
Unknown:
Mass of carbon consumed = ?
Solution:
Equation of the reaction:
C + O₂ → CO₂
To solve this problem from the balanced equation, we have to use the amount of product formed and work to Carbon. This is because, we are sure of the amount of carbon dioxide formed but the amount of the given oxygen gas used is not precise.
Number of moles of CO₂ =
Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (16 x2) = 44g/mol
Number of moles of CO₂ = = 0.34mole
From the equation of the reaction;
1 mole of CO₂ is produced from 1 mole of C
0.34mole of CO₂ will produce 0.34mole of C
Mass of carbon reacting = number of moles x molar mass = 0.34 x 12 = 4.1g
