To produce exactly 20 moles of CO₂ from the reaction, 30 moles of O₂ are required.
During a chemical reaction, reactants interact chemically and change into products. As an example, when we breathe in oxygen, it reacts with glucose to create carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
The chemical reaction is said to be balanced when there are equal numbers of each type of atom in the reaction on both the reactant and product sides of the equation. An equilibrium chemical equation will have an equal distribution of mass and change.
Given chemical reaction,
CH₃OH + O₂ = CO₂+H₂O
balance the given reaction,
20 CH₃OH + 30 O₂ = 20 CO₂+ 40 H₂O
We can use a proportion with the mole ratios,
20 moles CO₂/2 moles CO₂ = x moles O₂/3 moles O₂
x moles O₂ = 10 × 3
x moles O₂ = 30moles of O₂.
