The theoretical number of moles of carbon dioxide produced from 3.0 moles of C₆H₁₄ is ________. C₆H₁₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation for the combustion of hexane (C₆H₁₄) is 2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O. From this, 2 moles of C₆H₁₄ produce 12 moles of CO₂. Therefore, 3 moles of C₆H₁₄ will produce (3/2) * 12 = 18 moles of CO₂.
