What would be the theoretical yield in grams of carbon dioxide in the reaction shown below if 30 g of C6H12O6 were reacted with an excess of oxygen? C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O

Thus 44 g of will be produced  if 30 g of were reacted with an excess of oxygen

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

The balanced chemical equation is:  

As is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and is the excess reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of produce =  6 moles of

Thus 0.17 moles of will produce=  of

 Mass of

Thus 44 g of will be produced  if 30 g of were reacted with an excess of oxygen.
