Answer:
0.84 moles of oxygen are required.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of CO₂ produced = 37.15 g
Number of moles of oxygen = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
C + O₂ → CO₂
Number of moles of CO₂:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 37.15 g/ 44 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.84 mol
Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
CO₂ : O₂
1 : 1
0.84 : 0.84
0.84 moles of oxygen are required.
