Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced by burning 2.4 g of carbon.

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

C + O2 = CO2;

1 mole of gas is reacted with 1 mole of carbon. 1 mol of its oxide is synthesized.

Let’s calculate the available chemical amount of carbon.

M C = 12 grams / mol;

N C = 2.4 / 12 = 0.2 mol;

In this reaction, 0.2 mol of carbon dioxide will be synthesized.

Let’s calculate the volume of carbon dioxide.

V CO2 = 0.2 x 22.4 = 4.48 liters;
