A mole of CO2 = 2 moles of O2
8 CO moles x 2 =
16 moles
B is the correct answer to your question
10H₂ + 5O₂ → 10H₂O
Explanation:
This problem deals with balancing of chemical equations. In balancing chemical equations, the law of conservation of mass must be followed. This states that:
"In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".
This meaning of this is that; the number of atoms on each side of the expression must be the same.
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
let us check is the equation above is balanced;
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Elements reactant product
H 4 4
O 2 2
We can see vividly that the equation is balanced;
Now; if we have 5 oxygen gas, we multiply the equation through by 5:
5 x ( 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O )
⇒ 10H₂ + 5O₂ → 10H₂O
Elements reactant product
H 20 20
O 10 10
