Question : 4 of 36
Marks: +1, -0
Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when
(i) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in air.
(ii) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
(iii) 2 moles of carbon are burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
Solution:  
(i) C1 mole (12g)+O21 mole (32g)\underset{\text{1 mole (12g)}}{\mathrm{C}} + \underset{\text{1 mole (32g)}}{\mathrm{O}_2} → CO21 mole (44g)\underset{\text{1 mole (44g)}}{\mathrm{CO}_2}
Hence, 1 mole of C produces 44 g of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2.
(ii) C12g+O232g\underset{12g}{\mathrm{C}}+\underset{32g}{\mathrm{O}_2} → CO244g\underset{44g}{\mathrm{CO}_2}
Here, O2\mathrm{O}_2 is the limiting reagent.
Since 32 g of O2\mathrm{O}_2 reacts with C to produce 44 g of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2
Since 16 g of O2\mathrm{O}_2 reacts with C to produce 4432×16\frac{44}{32} \times 16 = 22 g of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2
(iii) 2C24g+2O264g\underset{24g}{2\mathrm{C}}+\underset{64g}{2\mathrm{O}_2} → 2CO288g\underset{88g}{2\mathrm{CO}_2}
Here, O2\mathrm{O}_2 is the limiting reagent.
Since 64 g of O2\mathrm{O}_2 reacts with C to produce 88 g of CO2\mathrm{CO}_2
Since 16 g of O2\mathrm{O}_2 reacts with C to produce
