This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.

C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.

I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.

Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

First you need to  balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O

Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:

=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.

You can verify that the equation is balanced

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Mass of carbon dioxide produced = 52.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon react = 14.4 g

Mass of oxygen = 56.5 g

Mass of oxygen left = 18.1 g

Mass of carbon dioxide produced = ?

Solution:

C + O₂     →      CO₂

Number of moles of C:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g/ 12 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.2 mol

18.1 g of oxygen left it means carbon is limiting reactant.

Now we will compare the moles of C with CO₂.

                       C             :         CO₂

                        1             :          1

                      1.2           :          1.2

Mass of CO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.2  mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 52.8 g
