The combustion of propane (C₃H₈)produces CO₂ and H₂O: C₃H₈ (g)+ 5O₂(g)→ 3CO₂ (g)+ 4H₂O (g) The reaction of 2.5 mol of O₂ will produce ________ mol of H₂O. A)4.0 B)3.0 C)2.5 D)2.0 E)1.0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced equation, for every 5 mol of O₂, 4 mol of H₂O are produced. Therefore, for 2.5 mol of O₂, the amount of H₂O produced will be (2.5/5) x 4 = 2.0 mol. Hence, the answer is D.

The Combustion of Propane (C3H8)produces CO2 and H2O: C3H8 (G)

The Combustion of Propane (C₃H₈)produces CO₂ and H₂O: C₃H₈ (G)
