Number of moles:
1 mole ---------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? moles --------- 9.45x10²⁴ molecules
1 x ( 9.45x10²⁴) / 6.02x10²³ =
9.45x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³ => 15.69 moles of CH3OH
Therefore:
Molar mass CH3OH = 32.04 g/mol
1 mole ------------ 32.04 g
15.69 moles ----- mass methanol
Mass methanol = 15.69 x 32.04 / 1 => 502.7076 g
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
C + H₂O ---> H₂ + CO
stoichiometry of C to H₂O is 1:1
1 mol of C reacts with 1 mol of H₂O
we need to find which is the limiting reactant
2 mol of C and 3.1 mol of H₂O
therefore C is the limiting reactant and H₂O is in excess.
stoichiometry of C to H₂ is 1:1
then number of H₂ moles formed are equal to C moles reacted
number of H₂ moles formed = 2 mol
