Be sure to answer all parts. How many moles of O are needed to combine with 0.276 mole of C to form CO

0.138 moles of oxygen are needed to combine with 0.276 moles of carbon.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of oxygen needed = ?

Moles of carbon present = 0.276 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C  + O₂      →        2CO

Now we will compare the moles of carbon with oxygen.

              C            :          O₂  

              2            :            1

             0.276     :        1/2×0.276  = 0.138 mol

Thus, 0.138 moles of oxygen are needed to combine with 0.276 moles of carbon.
