Question

3 Cu + 8HNO3 --> 3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2 NO + 4 H2O

In the above equation how many moles of water can be made when 9 moles of HNO3 are consumed?

Answer 1

5 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the coefficients of the equation, we know that for every 8 moles of nitric acid consumed, 4 moles of water are produced.

So, the answer is 9(4/8), which is 5 moles to 1 sf.
