Question

How many moles of water are produced when 3.45 moles of KMnO4 react? Give your answer to the nearest 0.1 moles. moles H2O

Answer 1

Answer:

13.8 moles of water produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of KMnO₄ = 3.45 mol

Moles of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

16HCl + 2KMnO₄ → 2KCl + 2MnCl₂ + 5Cl₂ + 8H₂O

Moler ratio of water and KMnO₄:

             KMnO₄       :        H₂O

                2             :          8

               3.45         :         8/2×3.45 = 13.8 mol

Hence, 3.45 moles of KMnO₄ will produced 13.8 mol of water.
