Water's high heat capacity<span> is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among </span>water<span> molecules. When </span>heat<span> is absorbed, hydrogen bonds are broken and </span>water <span>molecules </span>can<span> move freely. When the temperature of </span>water decreases, the hydrogen bonds are formed and release a considerable amount of energy.
<span>Water's heat of vaporization is around 540 cal/g at </span>100 °C<span>, water's boiling point.

How many moles of water can be formed from 0.57 moles of hydrogen gas?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

0.57 water

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to write the reaction expression first.

The reactants are oxygen gas and hydrogen gas.

They react to give a product of water

       2H₂    +    O₂   →   2 H₂O  

Given that;

Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 0.57moles

From the balanced reaction expression;

       2 moles of hydrogen gas produces 2 moles of water

   So;

    0.57mole of hydrogen gas will also produce 0.57 water
