Question

6kg of coal (carbon) is burned in air. What mass of carbon dioxide will be produced?

Answer 1

22 kg of carbon dioxide would be produced.

Stoichiometric Calculation

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

C (s) + O2 (g) ---> CO2 (g)

The mole ratio of C input to CO2 produced is 1:1.

Mole of 6 kg C = mass/molar mass

                         = 6000/12

                          = 500 moles

Hence, the equivalent mole of CO2 would also be 500 moles.

Mass of 500 moles CO2 = mole x molar mass

                                   = 500 x 44

                                    = 22,000 g or 22 kg
