SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the number of moles of H2 from 6 moles of H2O using stoichiometry. The balanced chemical equation 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O indicates that each mole of H2O contains 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. Therefore, 6 moles of H2O contain 12 moles of hydrogen atoms, which corresponds to 6 moles of H2. This conclusion is derived from the understanding of diatomic hydrogen and the relationship between moles of H2O and H2.

Homework Statement



Suppose you have 6 moles of H20. You want to calculate how many moles of H2 you have. how many is it?

Homework Equations



Avagradro's number: 6.02*10^{23}



The Attempt at a Solution



I got to the equation:
2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O
I kind of figured out that since H is diatonic, we need to do that^.

Although from here I don't know how to proceed.
