What mass of CO2 is produced when 0.75g of CO reacts according to the following reaction.when 2CO reacts with oxygen to produce 2CO2.

1 answer

First, we need to determine the molar mass of CO2.

The molar mass of CO2 is:
Carbon = 12.01 g/mol
Oxygen = 16.00 g/mol x 2 = 32.00 g/mol

Molar mass of CO2 = 12.01 g/mol + 32.00 g/mol = 44.01 g/mol

Next, we need to calculate the moles of CO2 produced from the reaction.

From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that 2 moles of CO produce 2 moles of CO2.

So, 1 mole of CO produces 1 mole of CO2.

Given that 0.75g of CO reacts, we need to convert this mass to moles using the molar mass of CO:

0.75g / 28.01 g/mol = 0.0268 moles of CO

Since 1 mole of CO produces 1 mole of CO2, there will be 0.0268 moles of CO2 produced.

Finally, we can calculate the mass of CO2 produced:

Mass of CO2 = moles of CO2 x molar mass of CO2
Mass of CO2 = 0.0268 moles x 44.01 g/mol = 1.18g

Therefore, 0.75g of CO will produce 1.18g of CO2.
