Question

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 226 mol of hydrogen gas and 108 mol of oxygen gas.

Answer 1

Answer is: there are 216 moles od water.
Chemical reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
n(H₂) = 226 mol.
n(O₂) = 108 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(O₂) : n(H₂O) = 1 : 2.
n(H₂O) = 2 · n(O₂).
n(H₂O) = 2 · 108 mol.
n(H₂O) = 216 mol.
n - amount of substance.
