The maximum mass of carbon dioxide formed is 17.34 grams, the formula of limiting reagent is O_2 and the mass of excess reagent (carbon) remained is 4.644 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For carbon:

Given mass of carbon = 9.37 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{9.37g}{12g/mol}=0.781mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 12.6 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{12.6g}{32g/mol}=0.394mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and oxygen gas follows:

$C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 1 mole of carbon metal.

So, 0.394 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.394=0.394mol$ of carbon metal.

As, given amount of carbon metal is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Amount of excess reagent (carbon) left = [0.781 - 0.394] = 0.387 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 moles of oxygen gas produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide

So, 0.394 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.394=0.394moles$ of carbon dioxide

Now, calculating the mass of carbon and carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

For carbon:

Excess moles of carbon = 0.387 moles

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.387mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon}}{12g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon}=(0.387mol\times 12g/mol)=4.644g$

For carbon dioxide:

Moles of carbon dioxide = 0.394 moles

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.394mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(0.394mol\times 4g/mol)=17.34g$

Hence, the maximum mass of carbon dioxide formed is 17.34 grams, the formula of limiting reagent is O_2 and the mass of excess reagent (carbon) remained is 4.644 grams
