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

In aerobic respiration glucose is completely?

In aerobic respiration, glucose is completely oxidized to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen and is the most efficient way for cells to generate energy.


Does algae produce carbon dioxide?

Yes, algae can produce carbon dioxide through respiration when they consume oxygen for energy production. However, algae also absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose in the presence of sunlight.


When Plants combine carbon dioxide and water from to make what substance?

Plants don't combine hydrogen and carbon dioxide directly; if they did (and did so in a 1-to-1 ratio), the result would be formaldehyde. Instead, plants combine carbon dioxide and water in such a way as to produce carbohydrates (particularly glucose) and oxygen in a multi step complex synthetic process.


What does bacteria that are adapted to live without oxygen combine carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce?

Bacteria that are adapted to live without oxygen can combine carbon dioxide and hydrogen to produce methane gas through a process called methanogenesis. This type of bacteria are known as methanogens and they are typically found in anaerobic environments such as swamps, marshes, and the digestive tracts of animals.


Photosynthetic organisms take in what from the atmosphere and combine it with water and energy from the sun to form sugar?

Carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere and combined with water and sunlight to produce glucose through photosynthesis.

Plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make what?

Plants combine carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis to produce glucose (sugar), their primary source of energy. Oxygen is also released as a byproduct of this process.

What reactants produce carbon dioxide?

When an organic molecule such as methane or ethanol undergoes complete combustion (in the presence of oxygen) it produces Carbon dioxide and water.


How does digesting food produce carbon dioxide?

The digesting of food is more likely to cause methane than carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is liberated when dissolved food is used in biological processes at the cellular level as carbon compounds combine with oxygen to produce energy.

Give two example of combination reaction in everyday?

Rusting of iron is a combination reaction where iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide. Photosynthesis in plants is another example, where carbon dioxide and water combine in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce glucose and oxygen.


Why doesn't a plant produce as much starch in the absence of water as it does in the presence of water?

In order to produce starch, a plant has to combine water and the sugar it produces. Without water, a plant cannot produce starch.


When oxygen is available sulfur dioxide is produced from the burning of sulfur.what is the equation for this?

The equation for the burning of sulfur in the presence of oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide is: S (sulfur) + O2 (oxygen) --> SO2 (sulfur dioxide).


Why is carbon dioxide a by-product of fire?

Fire is a chemical reaction that occurs when a flammable substance reacts with oxygen and forms oxides. Most flammable substances on Earth contain carbon, and so will produce carbon dioxide when burned.
