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

What is the total number of liters of O2(g) at STP needed to produce 6.0 × 1023 molecules of H2O(l)?

A)33.6 L
B)44.8 L
C)11.2 L
D)22.4 L

V = 22.34 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of O₂ needed = ?

Temperature and pressure = standard

Number of molecules of water produced = 6.0× 10²³

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂       →      2H₂O

Number of moles of water:

1 mole contain 6.022× 10²³ molecules

6.0× 10²³ molecules ×  1 mole  /  6.022× 10²³ molecules

0.99 mole

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and water.

                  H₂O         :            O₂  

                    2            :              1

               0.996         :          0.996

Volume of oxygen needed:

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.996 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×  273.15 K / 1 atm

V = 22.34 L

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.
