QUESTION: Problem 52P
When 0.100 mol of carbon is burned in a closed vessel with 8.00 g of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide can form? Which reactant is in excess, and how many grams of it remain after the reaction?
ANSWER:
Solution 52P:
The solution is based on limiting reagent.
Step 1:
The balanced equation is
Here, we are calculating the moles of from the moles of carbon if we consider O2 is limiting reagent:
We know that,
Moles of from C = (0.100 mol C)
= 0.100 mol of CO2(g)
Thus, 0.100 mol of CO2(g) is formed from the moles of carbon if we consider O2 is limiting reagent.
