What is the amount of water produced when 8g of hydrogen is reacted with 32g of oxygen?(a) 2moles(b) 1mole(c) 3 moles(d) 0.5moleI got this question in my homework.The origin of the question is Stoichiometry and Stoichiometric Calculations topic in section Chemistry Basic Concepts of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) 2moles

The explanation is: The chemical equation of water FORMATION is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. Though we have 8G of hydrogen, here OXYGEN is the limiting reagent. So the only 4g of hydrogen can be used to PRODUCE water i.e. 36g of water. That is 2 moles.
