The reaction for burning of charcoal or complete combustion is as follows:
From the above balanced reaction, 1 mole of carbon releases 1 mole of gas.
Converting mass of charcoal into moles as follows:
Molar mass of pure carbon is 12 g/mol thus,
The same moles of is released. Converting these moles into mass as follows:
m=n×M
Molar mass of is 44 g/mol thus,
Converting mass into kg,
Thus, total mass of gas released is 5.5 kg.
