    M (O₂) = 20g

    M (O₂) = 32.0 g/mol

    n (O₂) = 20/32.0=0.625 mol

    m (C) = 12 g

    M (C) = 12.0 g/mol

    n (C) = 12/12.0=1.0 mol

    2C + O₂ → 2CO

    1 mol 0.625 mol 1 mol

    0.625-0.5=0.125 mol

    2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂

    0.250 mol 0.125 mol 0.250 mol

    n (CO) = 1 mol - 0.250 mol = 0.750 mol

    M (CO) = 28.0 g/mol

    m (CO) = 0.750*28.0=21.0 g

    n (CO₂) = 0.250 mol

    M (CO₂) = 44.0 g/mol

    m (CO₂) = 0.250*44.0=11.0 g
