When added to a sealed flask and heated,6.0 g of carbon and 16.0 g of oxygen react to form 22.0 g of carbon dioxide.How much carbon dioxide is formed when 24.0 g of carbon is reacted with 100.0 g of oxygen?
A)40.0 g
B)44.0 g
C)88.0 g
D)112.0 g

The reaction between carbon and oxygen to form carbon dioxide is a stoichiometric one, where 12 g of carbon reacts with 32 g of oxygen to form 44 g of carbon dioxide. Given 24 g of carbon and 100 g of oxygen, carbon is the limiting reactant. Thus, 24 g of carbon will react with 64 g of oxygen to form 88 g of carbon dioxide.
