Consider the combustion of carbon monoxide (CO) in oxygen gas:
2CO(g) + O2 (g) -- 2CO2(g)
Starting with 3.84 moles of CO, calculate the number of moles of CO2 produced if there is enough oxygen gas to react with all the CO.

Question

Consider the combustion of carbon monoxide (CO) in oxygen gas:
2CO(g) + O2 (g) --> 2CO2(g)
Starting with 3.84 moles of CO, calculate the number of moles of CO2 produced if there is enough oxygen gas to react with all the CO.

anonymous · Answer

3.84 mol because the ratio of CO to CO2 is 1:1

anonymous · Answer

And the ratio is 1:1 because I have 2 CO on the left side and 2 CO2 on the right side?
