    18 grams of water, will be produced from 4 g of H₂ and 16g of O₂

    Explanation:

    Reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O

    Moles = Mass / Molar mass

    Molar mass H₂ = 2g/m

    Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m

    4g / 2g/m = 2moles

    16g / 32 g/m = 0.5 moles

    Ratio is 2:1

    For 2 moles of hydrogen, I need 1 mol of oxygen; I have 2 moles of H₂, but I only have 0.5 of O₂, so the O₂ is the limiting reagent.

    1 mol of O₂ produces 2 mol of water

    0.5 moles of O₂ will produce, the double → 1 mol of water.

    Molar mass of water is 18 g/m

    1 mol. 18 g/m = 18 g
