Solution

Dear student,

The reaction of Carbon with oxygen to give carbon dioxide is given as:

C + O₂ $\to$ CO₂

In the reaction, the stoichiometric coefficient (related to mass) of both the reactant is 1. Hence, one mole of carbon and one mole of O₂ gas are reacting. The stoichiometric coefficient of product (which is CO₂ ) is also 1. Therefore, 1 mole of carbon and 1 mole of oxygen reacts to give 1 mole of CO₂.

Regards!!
