74.566

Explanation:

C6H6 + 02 = 6CO2 + 3H2O

2C6H6 + 15O2=12CO2 + 6H2O

mm of C6H6 = (12x6) + (6x1) = 72+6 = 78gram/mol

mass conc = 2x78=156

mm CO2 = 12 + (16x2) =

12+32 = 44gram/mol

mass conc of CO2 = 12x44

= 528

from The equation

156g of C6H6=528g of CO2

22.031g of C6H6=Xg of CO2

therefore, Xg=

22.031 x 528 / 156

= 74.566g
