6 moles of CO2 are produced.

Explanation:

First, let's consult the formation equation for carbon dioxide from its constituent elements:

C(s, graphite)+O2(g)→CO2(g)

As we can see from this equation, the mole ratio of oxygen gas to carbon dioxide gas is 1:1. This means that the number of moles of these two gases will be equivalent when a reaction goes to completion and the moles of the product to 0.

Thus if the ratio is 1:1, the ratio is also 6:6 and the output number of moles of CO2 is 6.
