Question

In a synthesis reaction you start with 1.7L of Hydrogen how many liters of water will be produced?

Answer 1

15.3 litres of water will be produced if we take 1.7 litres of Hydrogen

Explanation:

Let's take a look over synthesis reaction;

$H_{2}+ O_{2}$                         $H_{2}O$

Balancing the chemical reaction;

$2H_{2} +O_{2}$                        $2H_{2}O$

Thus, 2 moles of hydrogen molecules are required to form 2 moles of water molecules.

Equating the molarity;

$\frac{1.7*1}{2*2}$ = $\frac{x*1}{2*18}$

           (Since, the molecular mass of hyd and water is 2 and 18 respectively)

x=$\frac{1.7*2*18}{2*2}$

x= 15.3 litres.

Thus,15.3 L of water will be produced if we take 1.7 litres of Hydrogen in a synthesis reaction.
