Question

For the reaction 2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(g), how many liters of water can be made from 5.0 L of

oxygen gas and an excess of hydrogen?

Answer 1

Answer: 5L O2 x 1 mol O2/ 22.4L O2 x 2 mol H20/ 1 mol O2 x 22.4L H20/ 1 mol H20 = 10 L H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

For future reference though, since its at STP that means that the coefficient are in proportion. Since oxygen has a coefficient of 1 and water has a coefficient of 2 for every 1 liter of oxygen there is 2 liters of water. Hence you started with 5 liters and ended with 10
