Question

According to the following reaction, how many moles of carbon dioxide will be formed upon the complete reaction of 28.6 grams of carbon monoxide with excess oxygen gas?

carbon monoxide (g) + oxygen (g) ----> carbon dioxide (g) + moles carbon dioxide

Answer 1

Explanation:

We have 2CO + O2 => 2CO2.

Moles of CO = 28.6g / (28g/mol) = 1.021mol.

Moles of CO2 = Moles of CO = 1.021mol.
