To calculate the number of moles of CO2 that form when 10 mol of C3H4 react, we need to use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation provided.
The balanced equation given is:
C3H4 + 4O2 -> 3CO2 + 2H2O
From the balanced equation, we can see that 1 mol of C3H4 reacts to produce 3 mol of CO2. This means the molar ratio between C3H4 and CO2 is 1:3.
Given that 10 mol of C3H4 is provided, we can set up a simple calculation to determine the moles of CO2 produced:
10 mol C3H4 * (3 mol CO2 / 1 mol C3H4) = 30 mol CO2
Therefore, when 10 mol of C3H4 react, 30 mol of CO2 will form.
