  • Moles of Water Produced from Hydrogen Gas: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

    2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) → 2 H₂O (l)

    This equation tells us that 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H₂) react with 1 mole of oxygen gas (O₂) to produce 2 moles of water (H₂O).

    2. Determine the mole ratio:

    The balanced equation shows a 2:2 mole ratio between hydrogen gas and water. This means for every 2 moles of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of water are produced.

    3. Calculate the moles of water:

    Since the mole ratio is 2:2, the number of moles of water produced is equal to the number of moles of hydrogen gas used:

    Moles of H₂O = Moles of H₂ = 1.4 moles

    Therefore, 1.4 moles of water are produced from the complete reaction of 1.4 moles of hydrogen gas.
