How many moles of O2 will be needed to burn 36.1 g of B2H6?
1 B2H6 + 3 O2 -->2 HBO2 + 2 H2O



Sagot :

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of B₂H₆.

molar mass = (10.81 g/mol × 2) + (1.008 g/mol × 6)

molar mass = 27.668 g/mol

Step 2: Determine the mole ratio needed.

mole ratio = 1 mol B₂H₆ : 3 mol O₂

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of O₂ needed using the mole ratio.

[tex]\text{moles of O₂ = 36.1 g B₂H₆} × \frac{\text{1 mol B₂H₆}}{\text{27.668 g B₂H₆}} × \frac{\text{3 mol O₂}}{\text{1 mol B₂H₆}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\text{moles of O₂ = 3.91 mol}}[/tex]
