Put the metal with the non-metal and use the charges to figure it out
I think the answer is 98 grams
The reaction for burning of charcoal or complete combustion is as follows:
![C(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=C%28s%29%2BO_%7B2%7D%28g%29%5Crightarrow%20CO_%7B2%7D%28g%29)
From the above balanced reaction, 1 mole of carbon releases 1 mole of
gas.
Converting mass of charcoal into moles as follows:
![n=\frac{m}{M}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n%3D%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7BM%7D)
Molar mass of pure carbon is 12 g/mol thus,
![n=\frac{1.5\times 10^{3} g}{12 g/mol}=125mol](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n%3D%5Cfrac%7B1.5%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B3%7D%20g%7D%7B12%20g%2Fmol%7D%3D125mol)
The same moles of
is released. Converting these moles into mass as follows:
m=n×M
Molar mass of
is 44 g/mol thus,
![m=125mol\times 44 g/mol=5.5\times 10^{3}g](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%3D125mol%5Ctimes%2044%20g%2Fmol%3D5.5%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B3%7Dg)
Converting mass into kg,
![1g=10^{-3}kg](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1g%3D10%5E%7B-3%7Dkg)
Thus, total mass of gas released is 5.5 kg.
