(N/A) The balanced chemical equation is: $C(s) + O_2(g) \rightarrow CO_2(g)$
Stoichiometry: $1 \ mol \ C$ reacts with $1 \ mol \ (32 \ g)$ of $O_2$ to produce $1 \ mol \ (44 \ g)$ of $CO_2$.
$(i)$ Since $1 \ mol$ of $C$ is burnt in excess air,it produces $44 \ g$ of $CO_2$.
$(ii)$ Here,$1 \ mol \ C$ requires $32 \ g$ of $O_2$. Since only $16 \ g$ of $O_2$ is provided,$O_2$ is the limiting reagent. Thus,$16 \ g$ of $O_2$ will produce $(44 \ g \ CO_2 / 32 \ g \ O_2) \times 16 \ g \ O_2 = 22 \ g$ of $CO_2$.
$(iii)$ Here,$2 \ moles \ C$ are provided with $16 \ g \ (0.5 \ mol)$ of $O_2$. $O_2$ is again the limiting reagent. Thus,$16 \ g$ of $O_2$ will produce $22 \ g$ of $CO_2$.

What is the value of $PV$ type of work for the following reaction at $1 \ bar$ pressure (in $J$)? The reaction is: $C_2H_4(g) + HCl(g) \rightarrow C_2H_5Cl(g)$. Given volumes are $200 \ mL$ of $C_2H_4$ and $150 \ mL$ of $HCl$.

The mass of $AgCl$ precipitated when a solution containing $11.70 \ g$ of $NaCl$ is added to a solution containing $3.4 \ g$ of $AgNO_3$ is [Atomic mass of $Ag=108$,$Na=23$,$Cl=35.5$,$N=14$,$O=16$] (in $g$)

Assertion : The amount of the products formed in a reaction depends upon the limiting reagent.
Reason : Limiting reactant reacts completely in the reaction therefore limits the amount of product.
