Question

Hydrogen gas reacts rapidly with oxygen gas in the presence of a platinum catalyst. Which equation correctly represents this

Answer 1

Answer:

2H2(g) + O2(g) -pt---> 2H2O

Answer 2

Answer:

2H2(g) + O2(g) ------------------> 2H2O(g)

Explanation:

Basically, the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen is a type of combination reaction and forms steam as its end product. The pure hydrogen burns with a blue flame with oxygen. Industrially, where the combination of hydrogen and oxygen is needed to undergo rapidly, platinum catalyst is introduced. This reaction gives steam rapidly. Platinum speeds up the rate of the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases.
