Worksheet-1 (MOLE)
Answer

1. Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when

(i) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in air.
(ii) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
(iii) 2 moles of carbon are burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
Ans: (i) C + O2 ⟶ CO2
1 mole of C gives 1 mole of CO2 (𝑔) on burning
1 mole of CO2 = 12 + 32 = 44 g
(ii) C + O2 ⟶ CO2
32 g of dioxygen reacts with 1 mole of carbon 16 g of dioxygen reacts with
1 1
× 16 = mole of carbon
32 2
But we have 1 mole of carbon, therefore, carbon is excess reactant.
It means O2 is limiting reactant.
32 g of O2 reacts with 12 g of carbon to form 44 g of CO2
44
16 g of O2 reacts with 6 g of carbon to form × 16 = 22 g of CO2
32
(iii) C + O2 ⟶ CO2
1
32 g of O2 reacts with 1 mole of carbon 16 g of O2 reacts with 2 mole of carbon
But we have 2 moles of carbon, therefore, carbon is excess reactant.

5. Chlorine is prepared in the laboratory by treating manganese dioxide (MnO2 ) with

aqueous hydrochloric acid according to the reaction:
