Answer:
12 moles
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction;
CuO(s) + H₂(g) → Cu(s) + H₂O(g)
We are given;
- Moles of copper, Cu is 12 moles
We are required to calculate the number of moles of CuO required;
- From the reaction 1 mole of CuO reacts to produce 1 mole of copper
- Thus, the mole ratio of CuO to Cu is 1 : 1
- Moles of CuO = Moles of Cu
Thus, moles of CuO = 12 moles
Therefore; 12 moles of CuO will be required.
