Considering the reaction stoichiometry, the quantity of moles of H₂O produced is 3.02 moles.
The balanced reaction is:
CuO + H₂ → Cu + H₂O
By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
The molar mass of the compounds present in the reaction is:
Then, by reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of mass of each compound participate in the reaction:
Then, it is possible to determine the moles of H₂O necessary by the following rule of three: If by reaction stoichiometry 79.55 grams of CuO produces 1 mole of H₂O, 240 grams of CuO produces how many moles of H₂O?
[tex]molesofH_{2} O=\frac{240 grams of CuOx 1 mole ofH_{2} O }{79.55 grams of CuO}[/tex]
moles of H₂O= 3.02 moles
Finally, the quantity of moles of H₂O produced is 3.02 moles.
