Question -
Answer -
The balanced reaction of combustion of carbon can bewritten as:
(i) As per the balanced equation, 1 mole of carbon burns in1mole of dioxygen (air) to produce1 mole of carbon dioxide.
(ii) According to the question, only 16 g of dioxygen isavailable. Hence, it will react with 0.5 mole of carbon to give 22 g of carbondioxide. Hence, it is a limiting reactant.
(iii) According to the question, only 16 g of dioxygen isavailable. It is a limiting reactant. Thus, 16 g of dioxygen can combine withonly 0.5 mole of carbon to give 22 g of carbon dioxide.
