When C2H4O2 burns in oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. How many grams of water are obtained from burning 4.76 g of this substance?

How would I solve this problem?

3 answers

1. Write and balance the equation.
2. Convert g C2H4O to mols. mols = grams/molar mass.
3. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols C2H4O to mols H2O.
4. Now convert mols H2O to grams. g = mols x molar mass.
I did that and got 2.86 g H20. It was correct, thank you!
Thank you for letting me know.
