Question
In the Reaction, 2CO(g)+)2(g)-> 2 CO2(g)
a. How many moles of carbon monoxide react with 3.0 moles of O2?
b. How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from 3.0 moles of O2?
Expert Solution
Step 1
The balanced reaction can be written as
2CO + O2 ----> 2CO2
The reaction which you have written is incorrect.
1 ) Since we can see that the coefficients of CO is 2 and O2 is 1.
Hence we can say that the 2 moles of CO will react with 1 mole of O2
Hence 3 moles of O2 will react with 3 X 2 = 6 moles of CO.
