Here is a chemical reaction:
2 C6H6 + 15 O2 → 12 CO2 + 6 H2O
How many grams of CO2 are produced when 56 x 1015 molecules of C6H6 react?
From the chemical equation: 12 moles of CO2 are produced for 2 moles of C6H6.
⇒ = ⇒ nCO2 = 6 nC6H6
nCO2 = 6x = 6 x = 5.581 x 10-7 mol
mCO2 = nCO2 x MCO2 = 5.581 x 10-7 x 44.0 = 2.456 x 10-5 g
