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 with 4.6 mol of C₃H₈ will produce ________ mol of H₂O. A)4.0 B)3.0 C)2.5 D)2.0 E)1.0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The limiting reactant is O₂. According to the balanced equation, 5 mol of O₂ produces 4 mol of H₂O. Therefore, 2.5 mol of O₂ will produce (2.5/5) * 4 = 2.0 mol of H₂O.

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

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