Suppose 1.2x10^3 kg of C is mixed with 2.4x10^5g oxygen gas and carbon dioxide forms.

1. write the reaction and balance
2.which reactant is the limiting reagent and which reactant is in excess
3. How many grams of carbon dioxide will be formed.

1 answer

I am wondering what you are having difficulty with.
a. write and balance the equation
b. note the mole ratio of C to O2
c. check the mole ratio of the amounts given.
d. if the given mole ratio is greater than b, then you have C in excess
