Chemistry Stoichiometry

Question

In the balanced chemical equation below, how many moles of water are created if 26.6 moles of acid react with excess magnesium hydroxide?

 

H₂CO₃ + Mg(OH)₂ --> MgCO₃ + 2 H₂O

Answer 1

H₂CO₃ + Mg(OH)₂ --> MgCO₃ + 2 H₂O

2 moles of H₂O are produced from every 1 mole of acid (H₂CO₃). Use this information to find moles of water produced from 26.6 moles of acid.

22.6 moles H₂CO₃ x 2 moles H₂O/1 mol H₂CO₃ = 45.2 moles H₂O
