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):

2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@Somy Can you please help me?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

is it 1 mol O2/1 mol H2O ?

OpenStudy (somy):

1:2 is the ratio between O2 and H2O O2 is 15 mole 15 - 1 ? - 2 ? = 15 x 2 / 1

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

30

OpenStudy (somy):

yeah

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

so what's the answer?

OpenStudy (somy):

you use ratio between oxygen and water

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

it has to be a fraction right?

OpenStudy (somy):

yeah

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

@Somy What would the fraction be?

OpenStudy (somy):

what do you think it would be?

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I think 1 mol O2/ 1 mol H2O

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Am I right?

OpenStudy (somy):

but ratio is 1 O2 to 2 H2O

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

so its 1 mol O2/ 2 mol H2O ??
