Calculate the mass and volume of carbon dioxide that was formed by the interaction of 5 moles of oxygen with carbon.

The oxidation reaction of carbon is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

C + O2 = CO2;

Carbon reacts with oxygen in equal molar amounts.

The same amount of carbon dioxide will be synthesized.

When carbon is burned in 5 moles of oxygen, 5 moles of carbon monoxide will be synthesized.

Let’s determine its weight.

M CO2 = 12 + 16 x 2 = 44 grams / mol;

m CO2 = 5 x 44 = 220 grams;

Let’s calculate its volume.

To do this, multiply the amount of substance by the volume of 1 mole of gas (22.4 liters).

V CO2 = 5 x 22.4 = 112 liters;
