Hii there !

The reaction accompanying production of water in this case would be -


\green{ \underline { \boxed{ \sf{2H_2+O_2\longrightarrow 2H_2O}}}}

Thus ,by observing the reaction, we can conclude that 2 mole of Hydrogen
(H_2 )react with 1 mole of oxygen
(O_2)to produce 2 mole of water
(H_2O)

Now,

To produce 1 moles of water.

Moles of Oxygen
(O_2) required
= (1)/(2) moles

Similarly,

To produce 4 moles of water.


\implies Moles of Oxygen
(O_2) required =
(1)/(2)* 4 moles


\implies 2 moles

Hope it helps.
