If 25 grams of hydrogen react with 25 grams of oxygen to form water: a. Which reactant will run out first?
b. What mass of water will be produced?
c. What mass of excess reactant will remain?

Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas react to form liquid water according to the following equation:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

a. Converting our given masses of each gas to moles, we have:

(25 g H2)/(2 × 1.008 g/mol) = 12.4 mol H2; and

(25 g O2)/(2 × 15.999 g/mol) = 0.781 mol O2.

From the equation, two moles of H2 react with every one mole of O2. To fully react with 12.4 moles of H2, as we have here, one would need 6.2 moles of O2, which is far more than what we're actually given. Thus, the oxygen is our limiting reactant, and as such it will be the first reactant to run out.

b. Since O2 is our limiting reactant, we use it for determining how much product, in this case, H2O, is produced. From the equation, there is a 1:1 molar ratio between O2 and H2O. Thus, the number of moles of H2O produced will be the same as the number of moles of O2 that react: 0.781 moles of H2O. The mass of water produced would be (0.781 mol H2O)(18.015 g/mol) ≈ 14 grams of water (the answer is given to two significant figures).

c. Since the hydrogen reacts with the oxygen in a 2:1 ratio, twice the number of moles of oxygen in hydrogen is consumed: 0.781 mol O2 × 2 = 1.562 mol H2. Since we began with 12.4 moles of H2, the remaining amount of excess H2 would be 12.4 - 1.562 = 10.838 mol H2. The mass of the excess hydrogen reactant would thus be (10.838 mol H2)(2 × 1.008 g/mol) ≈ 22 grams of hydrogen gas (the answer is given to two significant figures).

the correct option is c.

isotopes refers to different forms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass number as a result of difference in their neutron numbers. isotopes have different relative atomic mass but share the same chemical properties.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
