Answer:
36g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of H₂ = 4g
Unknown:
Mass of water produced = ?
Solution:
The reactants in this experiment are hydrogen and oxygen gas. The product formed will be water, H₂O.
Now write the reaction equation first;
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Find the number of moles of Hydrogen gas;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of H₂ = 2(1) = 2g/mol
Number of moles = = 2moles
From the balanced reaction equation;
2 moles of H₂ will produce 2 moles of H₂O
So, mass of H₂O produced;
Mass of H₂O = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Mass of H₂O = 2 x 18 = 36g
