15. The mass lost during the reaction when the alka seltzer is the limiting reagent is 0.883 g. Thus 0.883 g of CO2 was lost during the reaction. Given that the molecular weight of carbon dioxide is 44.01 g/mol, how many moles of CO2 were produced? (The number of moles is equal to the mass divided by the molecular weight). Choose the closest answer.

A. 0.020 moles
B. 0.053 moles
C. 0.079 moles
D. 0.014 moles
