Hii dear,
When free oxygen reacts with hydrogen the reaction is as follows-
2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
2 moles of hydrogen + 1 mole of oxygen → 2 moles of water
1 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1/2 mole of oxygen gas
For H2
W1 = 15g
M1 = 2×1 = 2g
n1 = W1/M1 = 15/2 moles
For O2
n2 = 0.5 × 15/2 = 15/4 moles
M2 = 16×2 = 32g
W2 = n1×M1 = 15/4 × 32 = 120g
Theoretically, mass of oxygen reacted is 120 g.
Hope that helps...
