You are given the balanced equation: C₄H₄ + 5 O₂ $\rarr$ 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O If 0.3618 moles of C₄H₄ are allowed to react with 1.818 moles of O₂, and this is the only reaction which occurs, what is the maximum quantity of carbon dioxide that could be produced?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of C4H4 reacts with 5 moles of O2. Therefore, 0.3618 moles of C4H4 will react with 0.3618 x 5 = 1.809 moles of O2. Since we have 1.818 moles of O2, which is in excess, the maximum quantity of carbon dioxide that could be produced is 4 moles for every 1 mole of C4H4. Therefore, the maximum quantity of carbon dioxide that could be produced is 0.3618 x 4 = 1.447 moles.
