the balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows; 2H₂ + O₂ --> 2H₂O stoichiometry of O₂ to H₂O is 1:2 number of O₂ moles reacted - 40.3 g / 32 g/mol = 1.26 mol according to molar ratio number of water moles produced = 2 x number of O₂ moles reacted number of water moles formed - 1.26 x 2 = 2.52 mol mass of water produced = 2.52 mol x 18 g/mol = 45.4 g 45.4 g of water produced
