Answer:
16.2 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced reaction
3 A + 2 B ⇒ 5 C
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 26.96 g of A
The molar mass of A is 159.7 g/mol.
[tex]26.96 g \times \frac{1mol}{159.7g} = 0.1688 mol[/tex]
Step 3: Calculate the moles of C produced from 0.1688 moles of A
The molar ratio of A to C is 3:5. The moles of C produced are 5/3 × 0.1688 mol = 0.2813 mol.
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.2813 moles of C
The molar mass of C is 57.6 g/mol.
[tex]0.2813 mol \times \frac{57.6g}{mol} = 16.2 g[/tex]
