Molecular weight of CO2 is about 44g (12g Carbon + 32g Oxygen *2 atoms Oxygen). So that means if you are presented with 44g CO2, that means there's 12g Carbon.

When there are 3 grams of carbon and 8 grams of oxygen if all of the carbon and oxygen reacted how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced?

11 grams because all is reacted and there is no reactant left over, although if there were only 3 grams of carbon there would have to be 6 grams of oxygen for this to be viable as carbon dioxide is CO2 so the question asked was itself wrong.


How many moles of carbon dioxide are there in 19 grams of carbon dioxide?

To calculate the number of moles of carbon dioxide in 19 grams, divide the given mass by the molar mass of carbon dioxide, which is approximately 44 grams/mol. Therefore, 19 grams of carbon dioxide is equal to 19/44 ≈ 0.43 moles.


How many moles of carbon are there from the original sample of 11.0 grams of carbon dioxide and 4.50 grams of water with a combustion of 7.50 grams?

Look up the molecular weight of carbon dioxide in the periodic table. The formula for carbon dioxide is CO2, which means one atom of carbon and two atoms or oxygen per molecule of carbon dioxide. Carbon has molecular weight of 12. Oxygen molecular weight is 16. Total 12+16+16= 44 11 grams/44 grams/mole=0.25 moles of carbon The grams of water and combustion of 7.5 grams are totally irrelevant. They are only given to possibly confuse you.


A certain mass of carbon reacts with 13.6g of oxygen to form carbon monoxide what amount of grams of oxygen would react with that same mass of carbon to form carbon dioxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) have a molar ratio of 1:1 with respect to carbon. The molar mass of CO is 28 g/mol and the molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol. Since the same mass of carbon reacts in both cases, the same mass of oxygen (13.6 g) would react to form CO2.


When 3 g of carbon brunt in 50 g of oxygen then find the mass of carbon dioxide produced?

The equation for the reaction is C + O2 -> CO2. The relevant gram atomic masses are 12.011 for carbon and 15.9994 for oxygen. Therefore, the ratio of the mass of carbon dioxide produced to carbon burnt is [2(15.9994) + 12.011]/12.011 or about 3.66. From burning 3 grams of carbon, the mass of carbon dioxide produced is therefore 1 X 101 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.

When methane is burned with oxygen the products are carbon dioxide and water If you produce 18 grams of water from 8 grams of methane and 32 grams of oxygen how many grams of carbon dioxide were pr?

To find the grams of carbon dioxide produced, start by calculating the moles of each reactant using their molar masses. Then determine the limiting reactant (the one that forms less product). In this case, oxygen is the limiting reactant. Use the mole ratio from the balanced chemical equation to find the moles of carbon dioxide produced. Finally, convert moles of carbon dioxide to grams using its molar mass.

How many moles of carbon dioxide are in 418 grams of the compound?

The molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44.01 g/mol (12.01 g/mol for carbon + 2 * 16.00 g/mol for oxygen). To find the number of moles in 418 grams, divide 418 grams by the molar mass of carbon dioxide. The calculation is 418 g / 44.01 g/mol = 9.50 moles of carbon dioxide.


When methane burns carbon dioxide and water are formed The mass of carbon dioxide plus the mass of water equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of OXYGEN?

When methane burns, the carbon dioxide and water formed, equal the mass of the methane plus the mass of the oxygen.

When carbon is burned in the presence of oxygen combine to produce carbon dioxide If you start with 6 grams of carbon and 11 grams of oxygen and they react completely how many grams of carbon dioxide?

C + O2 = CO2 So the theoretical number of moles are 1 each. number of moles is mass/molecular weight C = 6/12 which is 0.5 O2 = 11/32 which is 0.34375 Oxygen is the limiting reagent. So 0.34375 moles is reacted and this also gives 0.34375 moles CO2 no moles is mass over molecular mass grams is moles x molec mass 0.34375 x 44 = 15.125 grams CO2 formed. learn the technique. this is needed in science

A molecule of carbon dioxide contains two atoms of oxygen to one atom of carbon. If 440 grams of carbon dioxide is completely decomposed into carbon and oxygen what mass of oxygen would be produced.?

Balanced equation always and first. Decomposition reaction. CO2 -> C + O2 440 grams CO2 (1 mole CO2/44.01 grams)(1 mole O2/1 mole CO2)(32 grams/1 mole O2) = 319.93 grams O2 ( call it 320 grams )
