Answer:

The answer to your question is 122.4 g of O₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass of O₂ = ?

moles of H₂O = 7.65

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical reaction

2H₂O ⇒ 2H₂ + O₂

2.- Convert the moles of H₂O to grams

molar mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18 g

18 g of H₂O ---------------- 1 mol

x ----------------- 7.65 moles

x = (7.65 x 18) / 1

x = 137.7 g H₂O

3.- Calculate the grams of O₂

36 g of H₂O -------------------- 32 g of O₂

137.7 g of H₂O ------------------- x

x = (32 x 137.7) / 36

x = 122.4 g of O₂
