Question

8CO + 17H2 → C8H18 + 8H2O

In this chemical reaction, how many grams of H2 will react completely with 6.50 moles of CO?

Answer 1

Answer: 27,625 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

*This is actually pretty simple

According to your equation, we know that:

8 moles of CO will react completely with 17 moles of H2

so:

6.50 moles of Co will react completely with x moles of H2

x= (6.50 x 17)/8 = 13.8125 (moles)

Since the Molar Mass of H2 is 2 g/mol, we can calculate the amount of H2 needed to react completely with 6.50 moles of CO:

=>13.8125 x 2= 27.625 (grams)
