The mass of carbon dioxide, CO₂ that would be produced from 5 moles of ethanol, C₂H₅OH is 440 g
We'll begin by calculating the moles of carbon dioxide, CO₂ produced. This can be obtained as follow:
C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ --> 2CO₂ + 3H₂O
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of C₂H₅OH reacted to produce 2 moles of CO₂
Therefore,
5 moles of C₂H₅OH will react to produce = 5 × 2 = 10 moles of CO₂
The mass of carbon dioxide, CO₂ produced from the reaction can be obtained as follow:
Mole = mass / molar mass
10 = Mass of carbon dioxide, CO₂ / 44
Cross multiply
Mass of carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 10 × 44
Mass of carbon dioxide, CO₂ = 440 g
