Answer:

A: 10 moles of water are required.

B: 27 moles of C₂H₄  are used.

Explanation:

A:

Given data:

Moles of water used = ?

Moles of Câ‚‚Hâ‚…OH formed = 10 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₂H₄ + H₂O     →       C₂H₅OH

Now we will compare the moles of water with Câ‚‚Hâ‚…OH from balance chemical equation:

                    C₂H₅OH            :           H₂O  

                         1                   :             1

                       10                  :         10

10 moles of water are required.

B)

Given data:

Moles of Câ‚‚Hâ‚„ used = ?

Moles of Câ‚‚Hâ‚…OH formed = 27 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₂H₄ + H₂O     →       C₂H₅OH

Now we will compare the moles of C₂H₄  with C₂H₅OH from balance chemical equation:

                    C₂H₅OH         :           C₂H₄  

                         1                 :             1

                         27               :            27

27 moles of C₂H₄  are used.
