Question

If 2.03 g of oxygen react with carbon monoxide, how many grams of CO2 are formed?

Answer 1

Answer:

The suitable equation for this reaction is

2CO + O₂ -----> 2CO₂

Here, we are given that we have 2 grams of O₂

From the equation, we can see that 2 * Moles of O₂ = Moles of CO₂

Moles of O₂:

2/32 = 1/16 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of CO₂ is twice the moles of O₂

Moles of CO₂ = 2 * 1/16

Moles of CO₂  formed = 1/8 moles

Mass of CO₂  formed = Molar mass of CO₂ * Moles of CO₂

Mass of CO₂  formed = 44 * 1/8

Mass of CO₂  formed = 5.5 grams

Hence, option B is correct
