Answer:

The molar ratio of oxygen to water in the given chemical equation is 150₂ : 6H₂O which can be simplified to 25₂ : H₂O or 25 : 3 1.

The mole ratios are determined using the coefficients of the substances in the balanced chemical equation 1. In order to determine the mole ratio, we need to begin with a balanced chemical equation. For this reaction, the balanced chemical equation is:

2C6H6 + 150₂ = 6H₂O +12CO2

The mole ratios for this reaction are:

2molC6H6 : 150molO2 : 6molH2O : 12molCO2

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
