Question

How many moles of H2 would be required to produce 9.0 grams of water? 10 2 H2 + O2 + 2 H20

Answer 1

Answer:

8.1 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters: Mass of water to be decomposed = 29.2g Unknown: Number of moles of oxygen. Solution: To solve this problem, we first write the balanced reaction equation :                 2H₂O    →     2H₂    +    O₂ Now convert the given mass of the water to number of moles;   Number of moles of water =      Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol   Number of moles of water =   = 16.2moles     From the balanced reaction equation:     2 moles of water produced 1 mole of oxygen gas;     16.2 mole of water will produce     = 8.1moles of oxygen gas
