Question

How many moles of `CO_2` are produced if 6 moles of `O_2` are used?

Answer 1

Why `"6 moles........."`

Explanation:

And how do we know? Because we can write a chemical equation that explicitly tells us the equivalence of each reactant, and the products:

`C(s) + O_2(g) rarr CO_2(g)`

Each equiv, each mole, of reactant gives one mole of carbon dioxide product.

If 6 moles of `"dioxygen"` are used, at MOST we can form `"6 moles"` of `"carbon dioxide"`. What is the volume of this molar quantity of gas at `"SLC"`.
