Approx. $89 \cdot g$ $89*g$ ....

Explanation:

We got the stoichiometric equation...

$H_{2} (g) + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} (g) \to H_{2} O (l)$ $H_2(g) + 1/2O_2(g) rarr H_2O(l)$

$Moles of water = \frac{100 \cdot g}{18.01 \cdot g \cdot m o l^{- 1}} = 5.55 \cdot m o l$ $"Moles of water"=(100*g)/(18.01*g*mol^-1)=5.55*mol$

And, therefore, we need an equivalent quantity of dioxygen gas... a mass of $5.55 \cdot m o l \times \frac{1}{2} \times 32.00 \cdot g \cdot m o l^{- 1} = ? ? \cdot g$ $5.55*molxx1/2xx32.00*g*mol^-1=??*g$ ..

177.62g (2.d.p)

Explanation:

Equation: $2 H_{2} + O_{2} \to H_{2} O$ $2H_2+O_2 -> H_2O$

First, we need to calculate the moles of water.

$moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}$ $"moles" = "mass"/"molar mass"$
mass: 100g
molar mass: $1.008 \times 2 + 16 = 18.016$ $1.008times2+16 = 18.016$

$moles = \frac{100}{18.016} = 5.55062167$ $"moles"=100/18.016 = 5.55062167$

Now, we have to look at the ratio:

hydrogen:oxygen:water = $2 : 1 : 1$ $2:1:1$

Therefore, looking at water and oxygen, they have the same ratio of 1:1. That means that the moles of water is equal to the moles of oxygen.

Using the same equation as earlier, we already know the following:
moles = 5.55062167
molar mass = $16 \times 2 = 32$ $16times2 = 32$

Rearranging the equation gives me:

$mass = moles \times molar mass$ $"mass" = "moles"times"molar mass"$

$mass = 5.55062167 \times 32 = 177.62 g$ $"mass" = 5.55062167 times 32 = 177.62g$
