<u>Answer:</u> The amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Moles of hydrogen gas = 170 moles
Moles of oxygen gas = 80 moles
The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen gas
So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will react with = of hydrogen gas
As, given amount of hydrogen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.
Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water
So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will produce = of water
Hence, the amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles
