Answer:
Mass = 8.46 g
Explanation:
Given data Mass of water produced = ? Mass of glucose = 20 g Mass of oxygen = 15 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂
Number of moles of glucose:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 20 g/ 180.16 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.11 mol
Number of moles of oxygen:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 15 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.47 mol
now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and glucose.
C₆H₁₂O₆ : H₂O
1 : 6
0.11 : 6/1×0.11 = 0.66
O₂ : H₂O
6 : 6
0.47 : 0.47
Less number of moles of water are produced by oxygen thus it will limit the yield of water and act as limiting reactant.
Mass of water produced:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.47 mol ×18 g/mol
Mass = 8.46 g
