Question

If  O2(g) reacts with H2(g) to produce  H2O, what is the volume of H2O obtained from 1 L of O2?

Hint:  Write a balanced equation first!

Answer 1

2L

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction this is illustrated below:

2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L.

1 mole of O2 occupy 22.4L.

2 moles of H2O occupy = 2 x 22.4 = 44.8L.

From the balanced equation above,

22.4L of O2 produced 44.8L of H2O.

Therefore, 1L of O2 will produce = 44.8/22.4 = 2L.

Therefore, 1L of O2 will produce 2L of H2O.
