1. Write the balanced chemical equation:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
2. Mole Ratios:
This balanced equation tells us the following mole ratios:
* 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂
* 2 moles of H₂O are produced from 1 mole of O₂
3. Calculation:
Since you have 1 mole of O₂, you will need:
* 1 mole O₂ * (2 moles H₂ / 1 mole O₂) = 2 moles of H₂
And you will produce:
* 1 mole O₂ * (2 moles H₂O / 1 mole O₂) = 2 moles of H₂O
Answer:
* You would need 2 moles of hydrogen (H₂) to react completely with 1 mole of oxygen (O₂).
* This reaction would produce 2 moles of water (H₂O).
