Answer:
0.138 moles of oxygen are needed to combine with 0.276 moles of carbon.
Explanation:
Given data:
Moles of oxygen needed = ?
Moles of carbon present = 0.276 mol
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2C + O₂ → 2CO
Now we will compare the moles of carbon with oxygen.
C : O₂
2 : 1
0.276 : 1/2×0.276 = 0.138 mol
Thus, 0.138 moles of oxygen are needed to combine with 0.276 moles of carbon.
