the following questions apply to this equation..... 2C + O2-->2CO...............PLEASE HELP!!!?

Question

1) When two moles of carbon are used, what is the minimum number of moles of oxygen required to completely react the carbon away?

2) If 5.0 moles of carbon and 3.0 moles of oxygen are reacted, how many moles of CO are produced?

Answer 1

1) Just look at the reaction, noting that 1 mole is normally written without the (1): 2 moles of C + (1) mole of O2→ 2 moles CO

2) Since 1) just showed that the ratio of moles of C to O2 is 2:1, you expect 5 moles of carbon to requre 2.5 moles of O2. But you are given 3 moles of O2, so .5 mole of it won't react and the C will determine the amount of CO produced. Since the CO hasd the same # of moles as the C, the answer is 5.......

Answer 2

1) 1 mole O2
2) 5 mole CO

Answer 3

hey here are your answers.

1.) 1 MOL o2
2>)5 MOLS OF CO ARE PRODUCED
