In the above equation how many moles of water can be made when 107 grams of HNO3 are consumed?

Question

S   +   6 HNO₃  -->  H₂SO₄  +  6 NO₂  +   2 H₂O

In the above equation, how many moles of water can be made when 107 grams of HNO₃ are consumed?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth. If your answer is a whole number like 4, report the answer as 4.0

Use the following molar masses. If you do not use these masses, the computer will mark your answer as incorrect.:



Element	Molar Mass
Hydrogen	1
Nitrogen	14
Sulfur	32
Oxygen	16

Answer 1

Convert the amount of HNO₃ to moles, then adjust by the mole ratio 2:6 from the balanced reaction:

(107g HNO₃) * (1 mol HNO₃ / 63g HNO₃) * (2 mol H₂O / 6 mol HNO₃) = 0.6 mole H₂O.
