Balanced chemical equation
2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O
2 moles H2 ----------- 1 mole O2
27.4 moles H2 ------ moles O2
moles O2 = 27.4 * 1 / 2
moles O2 = 27.4 / 2 => 13.7 moles
Answer : The number of moles of oxygen gas required are 13.7 moles.
Explanation : Given,
Moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] = 27.4 moles
The given balance chemical reaction is:
[tex]2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O[/tex]
From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,
As, 2 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] react with 1 mole of [tex]O_2[/tex]
So, 27.4 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] react with [tex]\frac{27.4}{2}=13.7[/tex] mole of [tex]O_2[/tex]
Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen gas required are 13.7 moles.
