WORKSHEET 3
Mole-to-Mole Computations Involving Balanced Equation

Learning Target:
• I can perform mole-to-mole computations.

Instruction:
Solve the following problems systematically. Show solutions completely. Enclose inside a box your final
answers.

A. Consider the balanced chemical equation describing the reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen
gas to produce liquid water: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Questions:

1. How many moles oxygen is needed to react with enough amount of H2 to form 5.0 mol H2O?

? mol O = 5.0 mol H2O x 1 mol O2 = 2.5 mol O2

1 2 mol H2O

2. What is the amount of H2 required to react completely with 6.0 mol O2?

? mol H2 = 6.0 mol O2 x 2 mol H2 = 12 mol H2

1 1 mol O2

3. If 6.0 mol of H2O are produced, how many moles of H2 reacted with enough mol Oxygen?

? mol H2 = 6.0 mol H20 x 2 mol H2

= 6 mol H2
2 mol H2O
1

4. How many mols of O2 are need to react with 4.5 mol of H2?

? mol O2 = 4.5 mol H2 x 1 mol O2 = 2.25 mol O2

1 2 mol H2
B. The alcohol in "gasohol" burns according to the following unbalanced chemical equation:
C2H5OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O
C2H5OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O
The balanced chemical equation is: _____________________________________________

1. If 6.0 moles of H2O are produced in this reaction, how many moles of CO2 are also produced?

? mol CO2 = 6.0 mol H2O x 2 mol CO2 = 4 mol CO2

1 3 mol H2O

2. How many moles of C2H5OH are needed to make 6.0 moles of CO2?

? mol C2H5OH = 6.0 mol CO2 x 1 mol C2H5OH = 3 mol C2H5OH

1 2 mol CO2

3. How many moles of O2 should react with 5 moles of C2H5OH?

? mol O2 = 5 mol C2H5OH x 3 mol O2 = 15 mol O2

1 1 mol C2H5OH

4. How many moles of CO2 can be produced from 2.5 mols of C2H5OH?

? mol CO2 = 2.5 mol C2H5OH x 2 mol CO2 = 5 mol CO2

1 1 mol C2H5OH
