Answer : The mass of carbon monoxide form can be 2.8 grams.
Solution : Given,
Moles of C = 0.100 mole
Mass of
= 8.00 g
Molar mass of
= 32 g/mole
Molar mass of CO = 28 g/mole
First we have to calculate the moles of
.
![\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{8g}{32g/mole}=0.25moles](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7B%20Moles%20of%20%7DO_2%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%20Mass%20of%20%7DO_2%7D%7B%5Ctext%7B%20Molar%20mass%20of%20%7DO_2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B8g%7D%7B32g%2Fmole%7D%3D0.25moles)
Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.
The balanced chemical reaction is,
![2C+O_2\rightarrow 2CO](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2C%2BO_2%5Crightarrow%202CO)
From the balanced reaction we conclude that
As, 2 mole of
react with 1 mole of ![O_2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=O_2)
So, 0.1 moles of
react with
moles of ![O_2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=O_2)
From this we conclude that,
is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and
is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.
Now we have to calculate the moles of ![CO](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CO)
From the reaction, we conclude that
As, 2 mole of
react to give 2 mole of ![CO](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CO)
So, 0.1 moles of
react to give 0.1 moles of ![CO](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CO)
Now we have to calculate the mass of ![CO](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=CO)
![\text{ Mass of }CO=\text{ Moles of }CO\times \text{ Molar mass of }CO](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7B%20Mass%20of%20%7DCO%3D%5Ctext%7B%20Moles%20of%20%7DCO%5Ctimes%20%5Ctext%7B%20Molar%20mass%20of%20%7DCO)
![\text{ Mass of }CO=(0.1moles)\times (28g/mole)=2.8g](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7B%20Mass%20of%20%7DCO%3D%280.1moles%29%5Ctimes%20%2828g%2Fmole%29%3D2.8g)
Therefore, the mass of carbon monoxide form can be 2.8 grams.
