[Solved] For complete combustion of 1 kg of Carbon, the required Oxyg
The basic reactions involved are: For carbon and oxygen. C + O 2 → CO 2. 1 mole C requires 1 mole of O 2. The mass of carbon is 12 gm, and oxygen is 16 gm. 1 mole of C = 12 gm. 2 mole of O 2 = 2 × 16 = 32 gm. Hence 32 gm of oxygen required to burn 12 gm of carbon. Mass of oxygen needed to completely burn 1 kg or 1000 gm of carbon:
