Which ratio would be used to determine how many moles of water are produced by reacting 15 mol of oxygen in excess hydrogen? 2H2 + O2 ----> 2H2O

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

A. 1 mol O2/1 mol H2O B. 1 mol H2O/1 mol O2 C. 2 mol H2O/1 mol O2 D. 1 mol O2/2 mol H2O

What's the answer? @ghuczek

Use ratios and proportions. Notice in the balanced equation that 2 moles of Li are needed for every mole of bromine. So,\[\color{green}{\dfrac{2~\text{mol of Li}}{1~ \text{mol of Br}_2} = \dfrac{x~\text{mol of Li}}{4.6~\text{mol of Br}_2}}\] Cross multiply:\[\color{green}{(2~\text{mol of Li}) \times (4.6~\text{mol of Br}_2) = (x~\text{mol of Li}) \times (1~\text{mol of Br}_2)}\] and solve for x.
