Answer:
13.7 moles of O₂ are needed
Explanation:
In order to find the moles of reactants that may react to make the products we need to determine the reaction:
Reactants are hydrogen and oxygen
Product: Water
2 moles of hydrogen can react to 1 mol of oxygen and produce 2 moles of water.
Balanced reaction: 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)
If 2 moles of hydrogen need 1 mol of oxygen to react
Therefore, 27.4 moles of H₂ must need (27.4 .1) / 2 = 13.7 moles of O₂
