2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(l) How many moles of H2O are formed from 2.9L of O2 at a temperature of 325K and a pressure of 0.988atm?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

PLEASE HELP!!! @iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

You'll need to find how many moles of O2 are there using the Ideal Gas Equation. \[PV = nRT\] Where 'n' is the amount of moles of O2. R will be 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Then, use simple stiochiometry mole ratio stuff to get the amount of H2O.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

So 2.9(.998)=n(0.08206)(325)?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

@iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yes ma'am.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok... can you double check it once I do the math?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Ok.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

2.8942=n26.6695

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Now what do I do?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Solve for n?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

do I subtract the 26.6695 from both sides?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Nooo, divide both sides. It's being multiplied by the 'n'. To undo multiplication, we gotta divide.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

.1085=n?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yep. That's how many moles of O2 we have. Now we use mole ratios to get how much H2O we can make from the O2. looking at the balanced equation, we can make 2 moles of H2O for every mole of O2.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

So my answer is 2 moles for every mole of o2

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No. We have to use that ratio to calculate how much H2O we get from 0.1085 moles of O2.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

How do I do that?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

\[(0.1085 mol O2)*\frac{2 mol H2O}{1 mol O2} = \]

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

so 2(.1085)

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yep.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

so 0.217 mol h20

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yep.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Thank you.. I have one more question if you can help

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Just kidding I have 2 more.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Uhhh, idk. I gotta work on stuff myself, sorry. :/

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Dang ok thanks,
