The relevant chemical reaction can be written as:

In this reaction, carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen to form methane and water. This reaction is known as the Sabatier reaction and is very commonly used to generate methane for fuel.

Using stoichiometry, along with the balanced chemical reaction (written above), 4 moles of hydrogen gas are used to produce 2 moles of water.

or, 2 moles of hydrogen will produce 1 mole of water.

Thus, to produce 88.1 moles of water, 2 x 88.1 = 176.2 moles of hydrogen gas would be needed in the presence of excess carbon dioxide. Knowing this data, we can also calculate the mass of hydrogen gas needed. The molar mass of hydrogen gas (H_2) is 2 g/mole and hence a total of 352.4 grams of hydrogen gas are needed.

Hope this helps! :3

Answer : The chronological order events related to the formation of the universe with the stages in which they occurred are given below;

Expansion from an infinitely hot point - Which is also called as the Planck era from which the big bang theory arrived. It is assumed that from the moment of initial expansion to $10^{-43}$ seconds afterwards, and many also refer that it was from an infinitely hot point.
Hydrogen fuses into helium - This was called as the era of Nucleosynthesis which resulted from the Fusion and it continued in the Era of Nucleosynthesis ( which is 0.001 seconds – 3 minutes)
The first neutral atom begins to form - Era of atoms, it began in around 380,000 years – 1 billion years or so.
