Answer: The moles of carbon dioxide gas formed is 12.33 moles.
Explanation:
We are given:
Moles of oxygen gas = 12.33 moles
The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide follows:
[tex]C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2[/tex]
By stoichiometry of the reaction;
1 mole of oxygen gas produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas.
So, 12.33 moles of oxygen gas will produce = [tex]\frac{1}{1}\times 12.33=12.33mol[/tex] of carbon dioxide gas.
Hence, the moles of carbon dioxide gas formed is 12.33 moles.
