Hydrogen burns in oxygen according to 2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O. How many grams of water form when 6 g of hydrogen (H2, 2 g/mol) react completely? (H2O is 18 g/mol)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 54 g
- Step 1: Moles of H2 = 6 / 2 = 3 mol, and the ratio H2 : H2O is 1 : 1.
- Step 2: Mass of water = 3 x 18 = 54 g.
Answer
54 g.
Why not the others: The mole ratio is 2 to 2, so one mole of water forms per mole of hydrogen; the other values ignore the molar masses or the mole ratio.
