Answer:
moles of carbon dioxide produced are 410.9 mol.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 16.5 g
Moles of O₂ = 499 mol
Moles of CO₂ = ?
First of all we will write the balance chemical equation.
2C₆H₁₄O₂ + 17O₂ → 14CO₂ + 12H₂O
moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ = mass × molar mass
moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 16.5 g × 118 g/mol
moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 1947 mol
Now we compare the moles of CO₂ with moles of O₂ and C₆H₁₄O₂ from balance chemical equation.
O₂ : CO₂
17 : 14
499 : 14/17× 499 = 410.9 moles
C₆H₁₄O₂ : CO₂
2 : 14
1947 : 14/2× 1947 = 13629 moles
Oxygen will be limiting reactant so moles of carbon dioxide produced are 410.9 mol.
