What mass of co was used up in the reaction with an excess of oxygen gas if 24.7g of carbon dioxide is formed?

Hello!

The mass of CO that was used up in the reaction with an excess of oxygen gas if 24,7 g of Carbon Dioxide is formed was 15,72 g

The chemical equation for the reaction in this exercise is the following one:

2 CO + O₂ → 2CO₂

Now, we will apply the following conversion factor to go from grams of Carbon Dioxide to grams of Carbon monoxide using the molar masses, and reaction coefficients:



Have a nice day!
