Calculate the mass, volume and amount of hydrogen required to interact with 10 g of oxygen.

The combustion reaction of hydrogen is described by the following chemical equation:

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O;

Two moles of hydrogen react with one mole of oxygen.

Let’s determine the amount of substance in 10 grams of oxygen. Its molar mass is 16 x 2 = 32 grams / mol.

N O2 = 10/32 = 0.3125 mol;

The amount of hydrogen will be:

N H2 = 0.3125 x 2 = 0.625 mol;

Under normal conditions, one mole of ideal gas takes up a volume of 22.4 liters.

0.625 mol of hydrogen will occupy the volume:

V H2 = 0.625 x 22.4 = 14 liters;

The molar mass of hydrogen is 2 grams / mol.

The mass of hydrogen will be:

m H2 = 0.625 * 2 = 1.25 grams;
