In the combustion of hydrogen gas, hydrogen reacts with oxygen from the air to form water vapor. hydrogen+oxygen⟶water If you burn 58.9 g of hydrogen and produce 526 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the reaction:

The correct way to compute the oxygen that reacted is by considering the mass of hydrogen, 58.9 g, its molar mass, 2.02 g/mol, the 2:1 mole ratio between hydrogen and oxygen and the atomic mass of that gaseous oxygen 32.00 g/mol; therefore we use the following stoichiometric procedure:

The same result could have been obtained by using the mass of water since the law of conservation of mass is obeyed here.

Best regards!

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
