    First, we write an equation for the reaction of Hydrogen and Oxygen to produce water:

    H₂ + O₂ ⇒ H₂O

    This equation is not balanced, we then balance the Oxygens:

    H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O

    And now the Hydrogens:

    2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O

    Therefore, if one mole of Oxygen reacts, it will require two moles of Hydrogen and produce two moles of water.
