If 8.36 moles of Oxygen react, how many grams of Carbon Dioxide can be produced?

Answer 1

Hello, Jecnencen,

We aren't given a reaction, so I can't say for 100% certainty, but I'll base the answer on a simple reaction:

C + O₂ = CO₂

This balanced reaction says we'll get 1 mole of CO₂ for every 1 mole of O₂. Unless there is a reaction in which some of the oxygen atoms are provided by the other reactant, this should hold true as a general statement, so I'll use the relationship here. That means we'll get 8.36 moles of CO₂ in this problem.

(8.36 moles CO₂)*(44.0 g/mole) = 368 grams CO₂
