Question

How many moles of carbon dioxide gas can be produced when 7.94 moles of benzene (C6H6) react with excess oxygen? Be sure to show the work that you did to solve this problem.

Unbalanced equation: C6H6 + O2 “yields”/ CO2 + H2O

I really need this fast!!! please

Answer 1

the balanced equation is

2 C6H6 +15 O2 = 12 CO2 + 6 H2O

the ratio between C6H6 and CO2 is 2 : 12

moles CO2 produced = 7.94 x 12 / 2 =47.6
