CHEMISTRY | QN 08 | MOLE CONCEPT


8 moles oxygen gas reacted with 5 moles of hydrogen gat to form water. Calculate volume of water formed at S.T.P


  • Data


    Mole of Oxygen = 8 moles
    Mole of Hydrogen = 5moles
    Asked: Volume of water formed.

    Chemical equation for the reaction
    2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
    2 moles: 1 mole: 2 moles
  • To make mole ratio


    For H2 = 5 moles / 2
    = 2.5 mole (limiting reaction)

    For O2 = 8 Moles / 1 mole
    = 8 moles (excess reactant)
  • Volume of water formed


    Water was formed by using limiting reactant which in hydrogen gas (H2). So, we do mole equivalent

    2 moles of H2 Ξ 2 moles of H2O
    5 moles of H2 Ξ ?? of H2O

    = (5 mole × 2 moles) / 2 moles
    = 5 mole of H2O was formed

    Volume of water = mole × molar volume
    = 5 moles × 22.4dm3/mole
    = 112dm3

    112dm3 of water was produced at S.T.P.
