Answer:
Tom is correct. The rate of reaction of Crystal violet and NaOH is first order with respect to NaOH, hence, a higher concentration of NaOH corresponds to a higher rate of reaction; a faster reaction.
This means the speed of cleaning depends on the concentration of the lye used.
Explanation:
The reaction between Crystal violet and NaOH, represented as
CV⁺ + OH⁻ → CVOH
It is a reaction that is know to turn the violet colour of the crystal violet colourless.
The rate of the reaction is also known to be second order; first order with respect to Crystal violet and first order with respect to NaOH.
This means that the rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of NaOH provided all other parameters such as the rate constant and the concentration of Crystal violet are constant.
Hence, the reaction becomes faster with an increased concentration of NaOH.
So, Tom is right, concentrated lye solution would remove the stain faster.
Bob is wrong.

Answer:
3.0 moles of water
Explanation:
Having the balanced equation of water production
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) -----> 2H2O (g)
Given that 3.0 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1.8 moles of oxygen gas
from the 2 moles of hydrogen are required to react with 1 mole of oxygen
1.8 moles of oxygen,requires 1.8 mol O2 x 2 mol H2/ 1 mol O2 = 3.6 mol H2
this means that H2 is the limiting reagent while oxygen is in excess,thus we use the moles of H2 to find the ,moles of water produced.
from the equation, 2 moles of H2 produces 2 moles of H2O
moles of H2O = 3.0 mol H2 x 2 mol H2O/ 2mol H2 = 3.0 molH2O
Therefore 3.0 moles of water are produced.
