1.4 Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when
(iii) 2 moles of carbon are burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
When 2 moles of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen:
The chemical equation for this reaction is:
Here, oxygen acts as a limiting reagent as only 16g of dioxygen is available.
Thus, 16g of dioxygen will react with 0.5 mole of carbon to give 22g of carbon dioxide.
