The following balanced equation shows the formation of water. 2H2 + O2 2H2O How many moles of oxygen (O2) are required to completely react with 27.4 mol of H2

13.7 moles of O₂ are needed

Explanation:

In order to find the moles of reactants that may react to make the products we need to determine the reaction:

Reactants are hydrogen and oxygen

Product: Water

2 moles of hydrogen can react to 1 mol of oxygen and produce 2 moles of water.

Balanced reaction: 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) →  2H₂O(l)

If 2 moles of hydrogen need 1 mol of oxygen to react

Therefore, 27.4 moles of H₂ must need (27.4 .1) / 2 = 13.7 moles of O₂

r just means there's a number of carbon in teh chain. for example rcooh means that after x number of carbon, the chain ends with cooh.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
