Question

What mass of water is produced if 16g of carbon dioxide is produced? H2CO3 → H20 +002

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 6.54 g of H₂O

Explanation:

Data

mass of water = ?

mass of carbon dioxide = 16 g

Balanced chemical reaction

               H₂CO₃   ⇒   H₂O + CO₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of the products

H₂O = (1 x 2) + (1 x 16) = 2 + 16 = 18 g

CO₂ = (1 x 12) + (16 x 2) = 12 + 32 = 44 g

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication to solve this problem.

                   18 g of H₂O -------------------- 44 g of CO₂

                     x                -------------------- 16 g of CO₂

                            x = (16 x 18) / 44

                            x = 288/44

                            x = 6.54 g of H₂O
