Question
Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when 1 mole of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.

Solution
The balanced reaction of combustion of carbon can be written as:-
\[\ce{\underset{1 mole}{C_{(s)}} + \underset{(32 g)}{\underset{1 mole}{O_{2(g)}}} -> \underset{(44 g)}{\underset{1 mole}{CO_{2(g)}}}}\]
According to the question, only 16 g of dioxygen is available. Hence, it will react with 0.5 mole of carbon to give 22 g of carbon dioxide. Hence, it is a limiting reactant.

A 1.000 mL sample of acetone, a common solvent used as a paint remover, was placed in a small bottle whose mass was known to be 38.0015 g.
The following values were obtained when the acetone-filled bottle was weighed: 38.7798 g, 38.7795 g and 38.7801 g. How would you characterise the precision and accuracy of these measurements if the actual mass of the acetone was 0.7791 g?
