Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide: 2H2O2 --> O2(g) + 2H2O(l) How many molecules of water are produced from the decomposition of 3.4g of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2?

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

You have the equation. Now change the 3.4 g H2 to moles. moles = grams/molar mass

3.4 g/2.016 = 1.686 moles.

Now using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert moles H2O2 to moles H2O.

1.686 moles H2 x (2 moles H2O/2 moles H2O2) = 1.686 x (2/2) = 1.686 x (1/1) = 1.686 moles H2O.

Now you know that 1 mole of water is composed of 6.022 x 10^23 molecules. So

1.686 moles H2O x (6.022 x 10^23 molecules H2O/1 mole H2O) = ?? molecules.
