Problem Details

The diagram represents a high-temperature reaction between CH4 and H2O.

Based on this reaction, how many moles of H2 can be obtained starting with 6 mol CH4?

The diagram shows a reaction between two molecules, consisting of one red sphere bonded to two white spheres, and two molecules, consisting of one black sphere bonded to four black spheres. The products are represented by two molecules of a red sphere bonded to a black sphere and six molecules of two white spheres bonded together.
