Question

For the reaction shown, how many moles of CO2 are formed by the complete reaction of 0.0534 mol of
C2H6O?
C2H6O(g) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1068 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

The given reaction is presented as follows;

C₂H₆O(g) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

In the given reaction above, 1 mole of C₂H₆O react with 3 moles of O₂ to produce 2 moles of CO₂ and 3 moles of H₂O

Therefore, we have;

1 mole C₂H₆O forms 2 moles of CO₂

0.0534 × 1 = 0.0534 mole C₂H₆O will form 0.0534 × 2 = 0.1068 mole of CO₂

0.0534 mole C₂H₆O will form 0.1068 mole of CO₂.
