* Oxygen gas (O2): You have four oxygen atoms, which means you have two molecules of oxygen gas (O2).
* Hydrogen (H): You have two hydrogen atoms.
* Water (H2O): Each water molecule requires two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
The Reaction:
2 O2 + 2 H2 → 2 H2O
Explanation:
* The reaction uses up all the hydrogen atoms (2) to form two water molecules.
* It also uses up one oxygen molecule (O2) to form those two water molecules.
* You have one oxygen molecule (O2) leftover.
Answer: You can produce two molecules of water.
