Question

If 14 moles of Oxygen burn how many moles of water are created? *

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 12 mol H2O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction:

$2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2 + 6 H_2O$

We notice that oxygen is in a 7:6 molar relationship with water, for that reason, the resulting moles of water turn out:

$n_{H_2O}=14molO_2*\frac{6molH_2O}{7molO_2} \\\\n_{H_2O}=12molH_2O$

Thus, the answer is A) 12 mol H2O.

Best regards.
