Question

Consider the balanced chemical equation: 2o3(g) → 3o2(g). how many moles of o2 are produced when 0.50 mol of o3(g) reacts

Answer 1

2O3→3O2
The number of moles of O2 that are produced when 0.50 moles of O3(g) reacted is 0.75 moles

calculation and explanation

2 moles of O3(ozone) react to give 3 moles of O2 (oxygen gas,therefore the reacting ratio between O3 :O2 is 2:3

if 0.50 moles of O3 reacted then,by use of reacting ratio (2:3) find the moles of O2 produced

That is 0.50 x3/2 = 0.75 moles
