Two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen to produce two molecules of water.
How many molecules of water are produced from 2.0 x 1023molecules of oxygen? How many moles of water are produced from 22.5 moles of oxygen?
To determine the number of molecules of water produced from a given number of oxygen molecules, you need to apply the stoichiometry of the reaction. The balanced equation provided indicates that 2 molecules of hydrogen react with 1 molecule of oxygen to produce 2 molecules of water.
To find the number of molecules of water produced from 2.0 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen, you can use a conversion factor. First, calculate the number of moles of oxygen by dividing the given number of molecules by Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.022 x 10^23.
Number of moles of oxygen = (2.0 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen) / (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol)
Next, use the stoichiometric ratio provided by the balanced equation to determine the number of moles of water produced. For every 1 mole of oxygen, 2 moles of water are produced.
Number of moles of water = (Number of moles of oxygen) x (2 moles of water / 1 mole of oxygen)
To find the number of molecules of water, multiply the number of moles of water by Avogadro's number.
Number of molecules of water = (Number of moles of water) x (Avogadro's number)
Following the same process, you can determine the number of moles of water produced from 22.5 moles of oxygen by applying the conversion factors as described above.
