How many moles of H2O are produced when 5.32 moles of O2 react in the above equation? If you are unsure how to do a mole to mole conversion, please see the example problem linked HERE. a 7.89 moles of H2O. b 0.13 moles of H2O. c 4.56 moles of H2O. d 6.21 moles of H2O.
To calculate the moles of H2O produced when 5.32 moles of O2 react, we need to use the mole ratio from the balanced chemical equation.
From the balanced chemical equation:
4 moles of O2 react to produce 6 moles of H2O
Therefore, the mole ratio of O2 to H2O is 4:6 or simplified to 2:3.
Now, we can set up the following ratio to solve for the moles of H2O:
5.32 moles O2 * (3 moles H2O / 2 moles O2) = 7.98 moles H2O
Therefore, the answer is a) 7.98 moles of H2O.
