Question

For the reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

9.0 mol

Explanation:

• C₂H₄(g) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

In order to convert from moles of CO₂ to moles of O₂, we need to use the stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced reaction. We use a conversion factor that has moles of CO₂ in the denominator and moles of O₂ in the numerator:

• 6.0 mol CO₂ * $\frac{3molO_2}{2molCO_2}$ = 9.0 mol O₂
