If you start with 30 moles of O2, how many moles of SiO2 can you make?

30moles of SiO₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of O₂  = 30moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of SiO₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to write the reaction expression:

       Si +  O₂  →  SiO₂  

The reaction is balanced;

      1 mole of O₂ will produce 1 mole of SiO₂

     30mole of O₂ will produce 30moles of SiO₂
