Question

Formaldehyde (h2co) reacts with oxygen to form co2 and h2o. how many moles of co2 will be produced from reacting 2 moles of h2co with oxygen'

Answer 1

2 idk why but i looked it up so yeah is two

Answer 2

Answer: 2 moles of CO₂ are produced from reacting 2 moles of H₂CO with oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Chemical equation:

Formaldehyde + oxgyen → CO₂ + H₂O

H₂CO + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

2) That equation is already balanced

3) Mole ratios

1 mol H₂CO : 1 mol O₂ : 1 mol CO₂ : 1 mol H₂O

4) Then, every mol of mol of H₂CO produces 1 mol of CO₂ , which means that 2 moles of CO₂ are produced from reacting 2 moles of H₂CO with oxygen.
