6 moles of "CO"_2 are produced.

Explanation:

First, let's consult the formation equation for carbon dioxide from its constituent elements:

"C"_("(s, graphite)") + "O"_2(g) -> "CO"_2(g)

As we can see from this equation, the mole ratio of oxygen gas to carbon dioxide gas is 1:1. This means that the number of moles of these two gases will be equivalent when a reaction goes to completion and the moles of the product to 0.

Thus if the ratio is 1:1, the ratio is also 6:6 and the output number of moles of "CO"_2 is 6.
