Consider the equation 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O, what does the 2 in the coefficient of H2O molecule represent?
Consider the equation 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O, what does the 2 in the coefficient of H2O molecule represent? Correct Answer number of moles
In a balanced thermochemical equation, the coefficients always refer to the number of the moles (but never molecules) of reactants and products involved in a reaction so 2 in the coefficient of H2O refers to the number of the moles of water.
