For the reaction c6h6 + ? o2 → ? co2+? h2o , what is the maximum amount of co2 which could be formed from 6.59 g of c6h6 and 6.62 mol of o2? answer in units of g.

3.52 grams

Explanation:

Given moles:

moles of oxygen = 6.62

moles of

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of benzene reacts with = 15 moles of oxygen

Thus 0.08 moles of benzene will react with = moles of oxygen

Thus benzene is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of products and oxygen is the excess reagent.

As 2 moles of benzene produce = 12 moles of carbon dioxide

0.08 mole of benzene will produce = of carbon dioxide

Mass of carbon dioxide=

Thus 3.52 g of carbon dioxide are produced.

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
