I need help in Chem i will give medals allow me to write the equation using the equation bar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2H _{2} + O _{2} --> H _{2}O\] Determine the theoretical yield of water from 1000g of \[H _{2}\](Hint: determine the mass of water produced) Please help

OpenStudy (nottim):

ITs the same thing as the last question I answered, with slight changes.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Wait, theoretical yield, as in moles? or...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you do the question me and my friend get same wrong answer

OpenStudy (nottim):

Show me your work. Also, the answer is in moles right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its in grams

OpenStudy (nottim):

Bugger. I don't remember. sorry. Show your work, and then post a link to your question. Sorry about that.

OpenStudy (nottim):

SHOW YA WORK!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so this is what my friend i did we divided 100 by 2.02 and then we got 495.0. Since the mole ratio is 2:2, the moles of H20 is 495.0. Then we multiplied 18.02 and then we got 8919.9g

OpenStudy (nottim):

100?

OpenStudy (nottim):

Where'd 2.02 come from? I don't think the theoretical yield is 2:2. Isn't it 2:. Where did 18.02 come from? Also, I dunno chemistry.

OpenStudy (nottim):

How is moles of H2O that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought u knew chem ><

OpenStudy (nottim):

BAH HA HA. I'm a homeless man living in SeaWorld.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Can you draw out the actual entire thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how am i supposed to draw the thing? that's all there is to it....

OpenStudy (nottim):

Don't you need some gigantic "box" like thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we dont do that here

OpenStudy (nottim):

Aw. It's a nice way to organize it.

OpenStudy (nottim):

Well. I can't help much. Maybe Imranh will.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aii ill see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, I took chem a year a go, but I will give this a shot. So, the MOLE ratio of H2 to H2O is 2:1. You have 1000 grams of H2 will be equivelent to 495.05 moles of H2. Hence, 495.05/2 will give you the moles of H2O, which is=247.524 moles of H2O. Now, multiply 247.524 by 18.02 which is the atomic number of 1 molecule of water, and we get: 4460.4 Grams. Therfore for 1000 grams of H2, you will get 4460.4 grams of water. Hope that helps. Someone checks my answers, I am not 100% sure if it is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry the answer is 9000g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm... which is why you assumed the ratio is 2:2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because if you say that the ratio is 2:20 you will get the right answer, but it does not make sense. So, I guess I wil ljust give up now. The answer at the back of the book might be wrong. So, check with your proff.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah true but the answer we got is different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which answer for the 2:2 ratio you did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 8919.9

OpenStudy (jfraser):

The reaction above isn't balanced properly. The mole ratio should be 2:2. The theoretical yield is 8919g, but your book has probably rounded the answer to 1 sigfig, so it says 9000g, rather than 8919.
