  • Calculating Moles of Water from Oxygen: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

    2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

    2. Convert grams of O₂ to moles:

    * Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol

    * Moles of O₂ = (355 g O₂) / (32 g/mol) = 11.09 mol O₂

    3. Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation:

    * The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of O₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O.

    4. Calculate moles of H₂O:

    * Moles of H₂O = (11.09 mol O₂) * (2 mol H₂O / 1 mol O₂) = 22.18 mol H₂O

    Therefore, 355 g of O₂ will produce 22.18 moles of H₂O.
