Final answer:
Using the stoichiometric relationship from the balanced chemical equation 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, 0.112 moles of oxygen gas will produce 0.224 moles of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked how many moles of water are produced from the reaction of 0.112 mol of oxygen. According to the balanced chemical equation for the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen:
2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(g)
We know from the equation that 1 mole of oxygen gas (O₂) reacts to produce 2 moles of water (H₂O). Therefore, if we start with 0.112 moles of oxygen gas, we can calculate the moles of water produced by using the stoichiometric relationship between oxygen and water in the equation.
0.112 moles O₂ x (2 moles H₂O / 1 mole O₂) = 0.224 moles H₂O
Hence, the reaction of 0.112 mol of oxygen will produce 0.224 moles of water.
