Question

How many moles of oxygen are required to produce 37.15 g CO2? 37.15 g CO2 = mol O2

Answer 1

Answer:

0.84 moles of oxygen are required.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ produced = 37.15 g

Number of moles of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂     →     CO₂

Number of moles of  CO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 37.15 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.84 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

                          CO₂         :       O₂  

                              1           :         1

                            0.84       :       0.84

0.84 moles of oxygen are required.
