When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 27.6 g of carbon were burned in the presence of 84.9 g of oxygen, 11.3 g of oxygen remained unreacted. What mass of carbon dioxide was produced?

Expert Solution

The reaction of carbon combustion (reaction with oxygen ) is

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

One moles of carbon will react with one moles of oxyge to give one moles of CO2

Atomic weight of Carbon = 12g / mole

Molecular weight of O2 = 32g / mole

Molecular weight of CO2 =44g / mole

Therefore 12 grams of carbon will react with 32 grams of oxygen to give 44 grams of CO2

1 gram of carbon will react with 32/12 grams of oxygen to give 44/12 grams of CO2

27.6 gram of carbon will react with = 32 x 27.6 / 12 grams of oxygen = 73.6 grams of oxygen

{oxygen left = 84.9- 73.6 = 11.3 grams)

The mass of CO2 produced = 44 x 27.6 / 12 grams = 101.2 grams of carbon dioxide

Butane, C4H10, reacts with oxygen, O2, to form water, H2O, and carbon dioxide, CO2, as shown in the following chemical equation: 2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)→10H2O(g)+8CO2(g) The coefficients in this equation represent mole ratios. Notice that the coefficient for water (10) is five times that of butane (2). Thus, the number of moles of water produced is five times the number of moles of butane that react. Also, notice that the coefficient for butane (2) is one-fourth the coefficient of carbon dioxide (8). Thus,...
