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

53.9 g of oxygen, 15.5 g of oxygen remained unreacted. What mass of carbon dioxide was produced?

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. <u>This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.</u>

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

<u>No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance</u>

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

<u>Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.</u>

How do you know that volume of a diamond is 15.1g
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Density = mass / volume,  

        therefore volume = mass / density. Note that 1 mL = 1 cubic centimeter.

Explanation:

Volume = 15.1g / 3.52g/mL = 4.3mL = 4.3 cubic centimeters.

then a  diamond has a density of 3.52 g/mL.

Use the question marck Moles of CO2
The the giving = 0.624 mol O2
Find the CF faction = 1 mole=  32.00 of O2

O= 2x16.00= 32.00amu ( writte this in the cf fraction)
SET UP THE CHART
Always start with the giving

0.624 mol O2    /  1mol of CO2
___________  / _____________ = Cancel the queal ( O2)
                       / 32.00c O2
                      /
                     /
Multiply the top and divide by the bottom 
0.624 mol CO x 1mol CO2 = 0.624 divide by 32.00 O2 =0.0195
You should look at the giving number ( how many num u gor ever there) 
Ur answer should have the same # as ur givin so 
= 0.0195 
= .0195 mol of CO2
