Answer: O_2 is the limiting reagent

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{10.0g}{2g/mol}=5.00moles

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{20.0g}{32g/mol}=0.625moles

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of O_2 require = 2 moles of H_2

Thus 0.625 moles of O_2 will require=\frac{2}{1}\times 0.625=1.25moles of H_2

Thus O_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and H_2 is the excess reagent as it is present more than the required amount.
