Answer:

7.5 g of hydrogen gas reacts with 50.0 g oxygen gas to form 57.5 g of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the check if the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products.

Reactants


7.5+50=57.5\ \text{g}

Products


57.5\ \text{g}

The data is consistent with the law of conservation of matter.

Reactants


50+243=293\ \text{g}

Products


206+97=303\ \text{g}

The data is not consistent with the law of conservation of matter.

Reactant


17.7+34.7=52.4\ \text{g}

Products


62.4\ \text{g}

The data is not consistent with the law of conservation of matter.

Only the first data is consistent with the law of conservation of matter.
