Salvador Villanueva · Answer 1

13.8 moles of water produced.

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

Moles of KMnO₄ = 3.45 mol

Moles of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

16HCl + 2KMnO₄ → 2KCl + 2MnCl₂ + 5Cl₂ + 8H₂O

Moler ratio of water and KMnO₄:

KMnO₄ : H₂O

2 : 8

3.45 : 8/2*3.45 = 13.8 mol

Hence, 3.45 moles of KMnO₄ will produced 13.8 mol of water.
