Answer #1

C6H12O6 + 3O2 ——-> 6CO2 + 6H2O

No. of moles of water produced = (7.4 g) / (44.01 g/mol) = 0.168 mol

As per the balanced chemical equation same moles of H2O and CO2 produced.

So; No. of moles of H2O produced = 0.168 mol

Weight of H2O produced = (0.168 mol) x (18.02 g/mol) = 3.03 grams

Pounds of water produced = 0.0067 pounds
