Question

How many moles of water will be produced from the combustion of 0.27 moles of CH3OH?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.54 mole of H2O.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2CH3OH + 3O2 —> 2CO2 + 4H2O

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of CH3OH reacted to produce 4 moles of water.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of water (H2O) produced by the reaction of 0.27 moles of CH3OH. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of CH3OH reacted to produce 4 moles of water.

Therefore, 0.27 moles of CH3OH will react to produce = (0.27 × 4)/2 = 0.54 mole of H2O.

Thus, 0.54 mole of H2O is produced from the reaction.
