Question

How many moles of hydrogen gas would be needed to react with excess carbon dioxide to produce 88.1 molesmoles of water vapor?

Answer 1

Answer:

88.1 moles of H₂

Explanation:

Let's make the reaction:

H₂(g) + CO₂(g) → H₂O(g) + CO(g)

Ratio is 1:1

Therefore, 1 mol of hydrogen reacts with 1 mol of carbon dioxide to produce 1 mol of water and 1 mol of carbon monoxide.

In conclusion, 88.1 moles of water must be produced by 88.1 moles of H₂

The reaction can also be written as an equilbrium

H₂(g) + CO₂(g) ⇄ H₂O(g) + CO(g)           Kc
