2. what is the mole ratio of water to oxygen in the following reaction?\nch₄ + 2 o₂ -> 2 h₂o + co₂\n?\n2 mole o₂
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the coefficients
In the balanced chemical equation (CH_4 + 2O_2\rightarrow2H_2O+CO_2), the coefficient of (H_2O) is (2) and the coefficient of (O_2) is (2).
Step2: Calculate the mole ratio
The mole ratio of (H_2O) to (O_2) is (\frac{\text{moles of }H_2O}{\text{moles of }O_2}). Substituting the coefficients, we get (\frac{2}{2}).
Answer:
(1) (since (\frac{2}{2} = 1))
