Question

If 2.5 moles of CO2 is made from the reaction, how many moles of h2o is produced?

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of CO2 and H2 to produce H2O and CO is:

CO2 + 4H2 -> CH4 + 2H2O

From the equation, we can see that for every 1 mole of CO2 reacted, 2 moles of H2O are produced. Therefore, if 2.5 moles of CO2 are produced, the number of moles of H2O produced would be:

2.5 moles CO2 * (2 moles H2O / 1 mole CO2) = 5 moles H2O

Therefore, 5 moles of H2O would be produced when 2.5 moles of CO2 is produced.
