Part 2: The Concept of Limiting Reactant 2. Water is formed by burning H2 (g) in the presence of O2 (g): 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H20 (g) a) If you have 32 g of H2 gas and 32 g of O2 gas, which do you have the most of in terms of moles? Explain your reasoning. b) Starting from the 32 g of H2 (and assuming Oz is in excess), how many moles of water can form from the H2 gas? c) Starting from the 32 g of O2 (and assuming Hz is in excess), how many moles gf water can form from the O2 gas? d) Based on the amounts of water formed in parts b) and c), which is the limiting reactant for this reaction? H2 gas or O2 gas? Explain your reasoning. e) According to the limiting reactant you chose in part d), what is theoretical yield in grams of water that could be produced when 32 g of H2 gas reacts with 32 g of O2 gas?

Part 2: The Concept of Limiting Reactant
2. Water is formed by burning H2 (g) in the presence of O2 (g): 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H20 (g)
a) If you have 32 g of H2 gas and 32 g of O2 gas, which do you have the most of in
terms of moles? Explain your reasoning.
b) Starting from the 32 g of H2 (and assuming Oz is in excess), how many moles of
water can form from the H2 gas?
c) Starting from the 32 g of O2 (and assuming Hz is in excess), how many moles gf
water can form from the O2 gas?
d) Based on the amounts of water formed in parts b) and c), which is the limiting
reactant for this reaction? H2 gas or O2 gas? Explain your reasoning.
e) According to the limiting reactant you chose in part d), what is theoretical yield in
grams of water that could be produced when 32 g of H2 gas reacts with 32 g of O2
gas?
