From the data presented in the report sheet, you can deduce that the stoichiometric coefficient for oxygen is _______.
H20 (1) --> H2 (g) + O2 (g)

Respuesta :

Answer: The stoichiometric coefficient for oxygen is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Explanation:

A number present on the front of an atom, ion or molecule in a chemical reaction equation is called a stoichiometric coefficient.

For example, [tex]H_{2}O(l) \rightarrow H_{2}(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_{2}(g)[/tex]

Here, the stoichiometric coefficient for [tex]H_{2}O(l)[/tex] is 1, for [tex]H_{2}(g)[/tex] is 1 and for [tex]O_{2}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Thus, we can conclude that the stoichiometric coefficient for oxygen is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
