The mass of carbon that resulted from the decomposition of 37 L of carbon dioxide is 19.8 g
Balanced equation
CO₂ —> C + O₂
From the balanced equation above,
1 L of CO₂ decomposed to produce 1 L of C.
Therefore,
37 L of CO₂ will also decompose to produce 37 L of C
How to determine mass of Carbon
At standard temperature and pressure (STP),
22.4 L = 1 mole of C
Therefore,
37 L = 37 / 22.4
37 L = 1.65 mole of C
Thus, the mass of Carbon can be obtained as follow:
- Mole of C = 1.65 mole
- Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of C = 1.65 × 12
Mass of C = 19.8 g
Thus, 19.8 g of carbon were obtained from the reaction.
