Answer 1

To determine how many molecules of water are produced in the given chemical equation:

\[ 2O + CH \rightarrow ?H O + CO \]

It looks like there's a typo with the question mark. However, if we rearrange the equation to fit conventional form, we can assume that the correct equation might resemble something like:

\[ CH + O_2 \rightarrow H_2O + CO \]

This indicates that for every molecule of CH reacting with O2, 1 molecule of water (H2O) is produced along with one molecule of carbon monoxide (CO).

Thus, if the reaction proceeds from the balanced form, we generally see that for every two molecules of O2 reacting with one molecule of CH, we produce 2 molecules of H2O.

Therefore, in the reaction you've indicated, if there are 2 moles of water produced, the correct answer is:

Two
