3.3 grams of CO react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. write AND balance the equation for this reaction. then calculate how many grams of carbon dioxide can be produced. so what is it?

1 Answer

5.2 g of CO2.

Explanation:

2CO + O2 => 2 CO2

228 g of CO produces 244 g of CO2.
Thus 1 g of CO produces 244/228 CO2= 1.571428571 g of CO2.

3.3 g of CO will produce 3.3 * 1.571428571 g of CO2 or 5.185714286 g of CO2.

5.2 g of CO2 (2. significant figures)
