Question

When 2.50 moles of oxygen reacts with excess hydrogen gas how many grams of water is

produced?
2 H2 + O2--> 2 H20

Answer 1

90grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction given in this question is as follows:

2H2 + O2 → 2H20

Based on this equation, 1 mole of oxygen gas (O2) produces 2 moles of water (H2O)

Hence, 2.50moles of oxygen gas will react with excess hydrogen gas to produce (2.5 × 2) = 5.0moles of water.

Using mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of water (H2O) = 1(2) + 16

= 18g/mol

5 = mass/18

mass = 18 × 5

mass of H2O = 90grams
