Question

Write balanced reactions for the complete combustion of hydrogen. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A combustion  involves the reaction of a fuel with oxygen (O₂). During the reaction of combustion of hydrogen (H₂), H₂ reacts with O₂ to form water (H₂O). The balanced chemical equation is the following:

2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(g)

According to the chemical equation, 2 moles of H₂O are obtained from the reaction of 2 moles of H₂ with 1 mol of O₂. All reactants and products are in the gaseous phase.
