39.6 g of C6H6 are allowed to react with 133.8 grams of O2. How much CO2 will be produced by this reaction?
Help? I've got it balanced, but other than that, I'm lost.
This is a limiting reagent problem.
That means you have to do the calculation for both reactants and pick the one that gives the smallest amount of product.
39.6 g C6H6 * ( 1 mol)/ xxx.x g C6H6) * (12 mol CO2/2 mol C6H6) * ( 44.01 g/mol CO2) = g CO2
You will have to calculate the molecular wt of C6H6 for xxx.x
133.8 g O2 * ( 1 mol)/ 32.00 g O2) * (12 mol CO2/15 mol O2) * ( 44.01 g/mol CO2) = g CO2
So do the math on both of these and see which equation produces the least amount of CO2.
