  • Stoichiometry Problem: Calculating Hydrogen Production from Oxygen
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    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).
