In the combustion of hydrogen gas, hydrogen reacts with oxygen from the air to form water vapor.

Question

If you burn 54.8 g of hydrogen and produce 4.90 × 102 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?

Answer 1

2H2 + O2 ==> 2H2O

mols H2 = grams/molar mass
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols H2 to mols O2.
Now convert mols O2 to grams. That's grams mols O2 x molar mass O2.

Answer 2

In the combustion of hydrogen gas, hydrogen reacts with oxygen from the air to form water vapor.
If you burn 54.8 g of hydrogen and produce 4.90 × 10^2 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
