22.88

Explanation:

correct have a g'day mate

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →  2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

                    O₂            :            H₂O

                     1              :             2

                  0.635        ;            2×0.635 =  1.27

                   H₂             :              H₂O

                    2              :              2

                 1.28            :           1.28

The number of  moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g
