Molar Mass equation used

Question

2 C2 H6 +7O2 =4 CO2+ 6 H20 this is a balance equation so how many grams of CO2 was produced

How much moles of CO2 were produced

Answer 1

You don't tell us how much of anything you start with so we can't really give you an exact answer.

But 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O means that for every 2 moles of C₂H₆ it requires 7 moles of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 6 moles of H₂O

To determine the grams of CO₂, calculate the molar mass of CO₂ from the Periodic Table:

C = 12.011 g/mol

O = 15.999 g/mol x 2 = 31.998 g/mol

CO₂ = 12.011 g/mol + 31.998 g/mol = 44.009 g/mol

Multiply the number of moles of CO₂ by 44.009 g/mol to get the number of grams
