Detailed Solution

The combustion reaction of carbon in presence of oxygen is

          C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)

           12 g          32 g                    44 g

           6 g                 32 g                      x g

From the balanced equation it is clear that

12 g of C44 g of CO2

6 g of Cx  g of CO2

x=6 g of C12 g of C×44 g of CO2=22 g of CO2

Here, carbon acts as the limiting reagent because least amount of product is formed in the reaction.
