The given questions belongs to the concept of limiting reagent.
The number of moles of carbon dioxide produced when 4.6 moles of dioxygen reacts is 4.6 moles.
What is Limiting Reagent ?
The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed.
Given ;
Moles of Oxygen = 4.6
To find;
Moles of Carbon di oxide = ?
The reaction that forms [tex]CO_2[/tex] is as follows:
C(s) + [tex]O_2[/tex](g) --> [tex]CO_2[/tex](g)
This means that [tex]O_2[/tex] is consumed and [tex]CO_2[/tex] is produced in a 1:1 ratio.
If we consume 4.6 mol [tex]O_2[/tex], then we produce 4.6 mol [tex]CO_2[/tex] .
Hence, 4.6 mol [tex]CO_2[/tex] are produced when 4.6 mol of oxygen reacts.
