How many moles of carbon dioxide gas can be produced when 5.45 moles of benzene (c6h6) react with excess oxygen? be sure to show the work that you did to solve this problem. unbalanced equation: c6h6 + o2 “yields”/ co2 + h2o

Assuming it is complete combustion, the products would be CO2 and H2O.

We must have a balanced equation,

C6H6 + (15/2)O2 -> 6CO2 + 3H2O

This means 1 mol C6H6 yields 6 mol CO2

5.45 mol C6H6 ( 6 mol CO2 / 1 mol C6H6) = 32.7 mol CO2

the reaction mixture contains some ammonia, plus a lot of unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. the mixture is cooled and compressed, causing the ammonia gas to condense into a liquid. the liquefied ammonia is separated and removed. the unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are then recycled back into the reactor .
