Answer:
10.2 L of CO₂
Explanation:
Our reaction is:
2C + O₂ → 2CO₂
We convert the mass of C, to moles:
5.50 g / 12g/mol = 0.458 moles
Ratio is 2:2, so if 2 moles of C can produce 2 moles of CO₂ then 0.458 moles of C would produce 0.458 moles of gas.
By the Ideal Gases Law, we know that 1 mol of gas is contained in 22.4L, so:
0.458 mol . 22.4L / 1mol = 10.2 L
