A mixture of 5 g H₂ and 40 g O₂ is ignited to form H₂O. What is the mass of H₂O produced? (Atomic masses: H = 1, O = 16)

Reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O. Moles: H₂ = 2.5 mol, O₂ = 1.25 mol. 1.25 mol O₂ limits, reacts with 2.5 mol H₂. 2.5 mol H₂O formed = 2.5 × 18 = 45 g.

A mixture of 6 g H₂ and 32 g O₂ is ignited to form H₂O. What is the mass of H₂O produced? (Atomic masses: H = 1, O = 16)

Reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O. Moles: H₂ = 6/2 = 3 mol, O₂ = 32/32 = 1 mol. 2 mol H₂ need 1 mol O₂; 1 mol O₂ limits, reacts with 2 mol H₂. 2 mol H₂O formed = 2 × 18 = 36 g.

A mixture of 6 g H₂ and 44 g O₂ is ignited to form H₂O. What is the mass of H₂O produced? (Atomic masses: H = 1, O = 16)

Reaction: 2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O. Moles: H₂ = 6/2 = 3 mol, O₂ = 44/32 = 1.375 mol. 2 mol H₂ need 1 mol O₂; 1.375 mol O₂ limits, reacts with 2.75 mol H₂. 2.75 mol H₂O formed = 2.75 × 18 = 49.5 g.
