5 mols SnO2 reqires 10 mols C
but we only have 9
9 mols C require 4.5 mols SnO2
and yield 9 mols CO with half a mol SnO2 left over
The 10 mols CO will kill you.
How many moles of carbon monoxide gas are produced from the reaction of 5.00 moles of SnO2(s) with 9.00 moles of carbon according to the equation below?
SnO2(s) + 2C(s) → Sn(s) + 2CO(g)
Question 28 options:
4.50 mol
9.00 mol
18.0 mol
5.00 mol
7.50 mol
