Given the reaction 2CO + O2 = 2CO2, what is the minimum number if moles of O2 required to produce one mole of CO2?

Answer:

0.5 moles of O₂

Explanation:

See the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂

2 moles of carbon monoxide need 1 mol of oxygen to react in order to produce 2 moles of carbon dioxide.

If I want to produce 1 mol of CO₂, I just need the half of O₂.

You will see in this rule of three. Ratio is 2:1

2 moles of CO₂ are produced by 1 mol of O₂        (Stoichiometry - reaction)

1 mol of CO₂ will be produced by ( 1 . 1) / 2 = 0.5 moles

Answer:

two moles

A mole of CO2 molecules (we usually just say “a mole of CO2”) has one mole of carbon atoms and two moles of oxygen atoms.
