Consider the combustion of carbon monoxide (co) in
oxygengas
2co + o2 > 2co2
starting with 3.60 moles of co, calculate the
numberof moles of co2 procduced if there is enoughoxygen
gas to react with all of the co.

3.60 mol CO₂

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction:

2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂

The molar ratio between CO₂ and CO is 1:1

2CO₂/2CO = CO₂/CO

Thus, the moles of CO₂ produced from 3.60 moles of CO is 3.60 moles:

(3.60 mol CO)(CO₂/CO) = 3.60 mol CO₂
