Answer: 32 moles of water.
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation for formation of water:
[tex]2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O[/tex]
As can be seen from the chemical equation, 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water.
As it is given that hydrogen is present in excess, hydrogen is the excess reagent and oxygen is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.
According to stoichiometry:
1 mole of Oxygen gives 2 moles of water
Thus 16 moles of oxygen will give=[tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 16=32moles[/tex]of water.
32 moles of water will be produced.
