You are given the balanced chemical equation: C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ $\rarr$ 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O If 0.3818 moles of C₃H₈ and 1.718 moles of O₂ are allowed to react, and this is the only reaction which occurs, theoretically how many moles of water should be produced?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The limiting reactant is O2. According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, 5 moles of O2 produce 4 moles of H2O. Therefore, 1.718 moles of O2 will produce (1.718 moles O2 * 4 moles H2O / 5 moles O2) = 1.374 moles of H2O.
