Part 1 of 2
How many grams of CO2 are formed from 2.9 mol of C2H4?
g CO2
To find the number of grams of CO2 formed from 2.9 mol of C2H4, we first need to determine the molar ratio between C2H4 and CO2 from the balanced equation.
From the balanced equation, 1 mol of C2H4 produces 2 mol of CO2.
Now, we can set up the following calculation:
2.9 mol C2H4 x (2 mol CO2 / 1 mol C2H4) x (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 255.71 g CO2
Therefore, 2.9 mol of C2H4 produces 255.71 g of CO2.
