Question

11.0 L of hydrogen and 5.52 L of oxygen are exploded together in a reaction tube. What volume of water vapor was formed, at STP?

Answer 1

Answer:

11.0 L

Explanation:

The equation for this reaction is given as;

2H2  +  O2  -->  2H2O

2 mol of H2 reacts with 1 mol of O2 to form 2 mol of H2O

At STP;

1 mol = 22.4 L

This means;

44.8 L of H2 reacts with 22.4 L of O2 to form 44.8 L of H2O

In this reaction, the limiting reactant is H2 as O2 is in excess.

The relationship between H2 and H2O;

44.8 L = 44.8 L

11.0 L would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 11 * 44.8 / 44.8

x = 11.0 L
