Answer

0.96 mole of $CO$ is produced when 1.2 moles of C reacts.

Work Step by Step

1. Find the mole-mole conversion factors: According to the coefficients: 5 moles $C$ = 4 moles $CO$ $\frac{ 5 \space moles \space C}{ 4 \space moles \space CO}$ and $\frac{ 4 \space moles \space CO}{ 5 \space moles \space C}$ 2. Use the mole-mole conversion factors to calculate the amount of equivalent $CO$ in moles: $ 1.2$ moles $C \times \frac{ 4 \space moles \space CO}{ 5 \space moles \space C} = 0.96$ mole CO
