Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when
a. `1` mol of carbon is burnt in air
b. `1` moles of carbon is burnt in `16 g` of dioxygen.
c. `2` moles of carbon are burnt in `16 g` of dioxygen.

Explanation

the balanced reaction of combustion of carbon can be written as :
(i) As per the balanced equation , 1 mole of carbon burns in mole of dioxygen (air) to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide .
(ii) According to the question ,only 16 g of dioxygen is available ,Hence , it will react with 0.5 mole of carbon to give 22 g of carbon dioxide ,Hence , it is a limiting reactant .
(iii) According to the question ,only 16 g of dioxygen is available it is a limiting of carbon dioxide .
