16 mol of oxygen were react with excess hydrogen gas, how many moles of water would be produced
2 answers:
Answer: 32 moles of water.
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation for formation of water:
As can be seen from the chemical equation, 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water.
As it is given that hydrogen is present in excess, hydrogen is the excess reagent and oxygen is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.
According to stoichiometry:
1 mole of Oxygen gives 2 moles of water
Thus 16 moles of oxygen will give=of water.
32 moles of water will be produced.

The given compound is being synthesized by condensing Acetone and Pivaldehyde (Trimethylacetaldehyde).
First Acetone is treated with Base, the base abstracts the mildly acidic proton present at alpha position to carbonyl group. The resulting specie called enolate act as a nucleophile and attacks on highly reactive aldehyde which upon dehydration yields the Aldol Product. The Reaction is as follow,
