1. The combustion of carbon monoxide gas in oxygen gas is represented by the following equation:
2 CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2(g)
a. How many moles of carbon dioxide gas will be produced from the complete combustion of 4.60 moles CO(g)?

2 moles CO2
4.60 moles CO x = �. � ����� ���
2 moles CO

b. How many grams of carbon dioxide gas will be produced from the complete combustion of 2.3 moles of O2 (g) ?

(C + O = 1(12.01g/mol) + 2(16.00g/mol) = 44.01g/mol

2 moles CO2 44.01g CO2

2.3 moles O2 x x = ���. � � ���
2 moles O2 1 mole CO2

2. Consider the reaction: 2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2

a. How many moles of KClO3 are required to produce 22.8 moles oxygen gas, O2?

2 moles KClO3
22.8 moles O2 x = ��. � ����� �����
