1. Write the balanced chemical equation:
2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O
2. Convert grams of O₂ to moles:
* Molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol
* Moles of O₂ = (355 g O₂) / (32 g/mol) = 11.09 mol O₂
3. Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation:
* The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of O₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O.
4. Calculate moles of H₂O:
* Moles of H₂O = (11.09 mol O₂) * (2 mol H₂O / 1 mol O₂) = 22.18 mol H₂O
Therefore, 355 g of O₂ will produce 22.18 moles of H₂O.
