According to the balanced reaction, it takes 2 moles of H₂O to react with 4 moles of KO. So, the molar ratio of H₂O to KO is 2:4 or 1:2. Therefore, to find the number of moles of KO required to react with 5.44 moles of H₂O, we need to divide 5.44 by 2: 5.44 moles H₂O ÷ 2 = 2.72 moles KO Therefore, the correct answer is C, 10.9 moles H₂O.
