    6.25 g of Carbon is in Excess

    Explanation:

    The balance chemical equation is as follow:

    C + O₂ → CO₂

    Step 1: Calculate Moles of O₂ as:

    Moles = Mass / M/Mass

    Moles = 50 g / 32 g/mol

    Moles = 1.562 mol of O₂

    Step 2: Calculate Moles of C as;

    Moles = 25 g / 12 g/mol

    Moles = 2.08 mol

    Step 3: Calculate the Limiting reagent:

    According to equation,

    1 moles of O₂ reacted with = 1 mole of C

    So,

    1.562 moles of O₂ will react with = X moles of C

    Solving for X,

    X = 1 mol * 1.562 mol / 1 mol

    X = 1.562 mol of C

    While we are provided with 2.08 mol of C. Means C is in excess.

    Step 4: Calculate amount of Excess C as;

    Excess Moles = Given Moles - Used Moles

    Excess Moles = 2.08 mol - 1.562 mol

    Excess Moles = 0.521 moles

    Step 5: Converting Excess moles to Mass as:

    Mass = Moles * M. Mass

    Mass = 0.521 mol * 12 g/mol

    Mass = 6.25 g
