Answer:
The balanced chemical equation is:
2As2O3 + 3C → 3CO2 + 4As
To find out how many grams of carbon dioxide can be produced, we need to use stoichiometry.
First, we need to determine which reactant is limiting. We can do this by calculating the amount of carbon that reacts with As2O3:
1.00 g C × (1 mol C / 12.01 g) × (2 mol As2O3 / 3 mol C) × (197.84 g As2O3 / 1 mol As2O3) = 2.60 g As2O3
This means that only 2.60 g of the As2O3 will react, and the rest will be in excess.
Now we can use the balanced equation to calculate the amount of CO2 that will be produced:
2 mol As2O3 : 3 mol CO2
2.60 g As2O3 × (1 mol As2O3 / 197.84 g) × (3 mol CO2 / 2 mol As2O3) × (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 3.56 g CO2
Therefore, 3.56 grams of carbon dioxide can be produced.
