Write a stoichiometric equation: #H_2(g)+1/2O_2(g) rarr H_2O(g)#

Explanation:

AS given, one mole of water is formed from a half mole quantity of dioxygen gas. Here, #3.00*mol# of #H_2O# are produced, and NECESSARILY, HALF an EQUIV of dioxygen gas are required...i.e. #1.5*mol# with respect to #O_2#, a mass of #48*g#.
