120cm3 of hydrogen were sparked with 60cm3 of oxygen at 110 degrees C. What was the volume of steam produced? 2H2(g)+O2(g) -> 2H2O(g)

  • A. 30cm3
  • B. 60cm3
  • C. 90cm3
  • D. 120cm3Correct

Explanation

O2 (60cm3) is the limiting/matching reagent for 120cm3 H2 (2:1 ratio); by the 2:2 mole ratio of H2:H2O, 120cm3 H2 gives 120cm3 steam.
