12 G of carbon react with 16 G of oxygen how much carbon monoxide is formed ​

28 g CO

Explanation:

First convert grams to moles.

1 mole C = 12.011 g (I'm just going to round to 12 for the sake of this problem)

12 g C • = 1 mol C

1 mol O = 15.996 g (I'm just going to round to 16)

16 g O • = 1 mol O

So the unbalanced equation is:

-> (the oxygen has a 2 subscript because it is part of HONClBrIF meaning when not in a compound these elements appear in pairs - called diatomic elements)

The balanced equation is:

->

However, carbon is the limiting reactant in this equation and two moles cannot react because only 12 g (1 mole) are present. Therefore, use the equation

-> .

1 mole of CO is formed, therefore 12 g + 16 g = 28 g CO.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
