Stoichiometry! Set up the equation: C + O2 --> CO2.
First, run it through for 20g of C: 12g/1mol=20g/x; x=1.67 mol, which in the equation, is also your moles for CO2 because everything's in a 1:1 ratio.
Now, run it through for 50g of O2: 32g/1mol=50g/x; x=1.56 mol, which is also your moles for CO2 for the same reason as above.
1.56 is less than 1.67, so 1.56 moles CO2 is the true answer (1.67 is an impossible scenario). The O2 is the limiting reactant (the carbon is the excess.) The 1.56 moles of CO2 produced is also equal to 34.94 liters (at STP) or 68.64 grams.
