Answer:

Option (B) 7

Explanation:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

To know the coefficient of O2 in the above equation, let us balance the equation.

The above equation can be balance as follow:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 3 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

There are a total of 4 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 9 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as show below:

C3H6O2(l) + 7/2O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Multiply through by 2

2C3H6O2(l) + 7O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Now, the equation is balanced.

From the balanced equation above, the coefficient of O2 is 7.

how many moles of sodium are needed to react with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate according to the followi
anastassius [24]
Hello!
<span>
You'll need to react 7,5 moles of Sodium with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate
</span>
First of all, you need to balance the reaction. The balanced reaction is shown below (ensuring that the Law of Conservation of Mass is met on both sides):

2Na + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂

Now, all that you have to do is to use molar equivalences in this reaction applying the coefficients to calculate the moles of Sodium that you'll need:

molesNa=3,75moles Na_{2} SO_4* \frac{2 moles Na}{1 mol Na_{2} SO_4} =7,5 moles Na 

Have a nice day!
