<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 1.18 g.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given a chemical equation:
We know that at STP conditions:
22.4L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas.
So, 2.21L of carbon dioxide is occupied by = of carbon dioxide gas.
By Stoichiometry of the above reaction:
1 mole of carbon dioxide gas is produced by 1 mole of carbon
So, 0.0986 moles of carbon dioxide is produced by = of carbon.
Now, to calculate the mass of carbon, we use the equation:
Moles of carbon = 0.0986 mol
Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the correct answer is 1.18 g.
