Answer:
220 g of carbon dioxide will be made and 60 g of carbon will be left over
Explanation:
The ratio of the amount of carbon to that of oxygen to make carbon dioxode is given by
12/32 = 3/8
That is, we need 3 grams of carbon per 8 grams of oxygen to create 11 grams of carbon dioxide.
If we have 120 g of carbon we will need :
120 *(8/3) g = 320 g
of oxygen to produce 440 g of carbon dioxide.
However we only have 160 g of oxygen.
Now let us consider how many grams of carbon we need to be combined with 160 g of oxygen:
160 *(3/8)=60g
60 of carbon, will be used to create 220 g of carbon dioxide
Therefore, 220 g of carbon dioxide will be made and 60 g of carbon will be left over
