Start by identifying the balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O. This equation tells us that 1 mole of O₂ produces 2 moles of H₂O.
Determine the number of moles of H₂O produced from the given moles of O₂. Since 0.23 moles of O₂ are reacting, use the stoichiometry from the balanced equation: 0.23 moles O₂ × (2 moles H₂O / 1 mole O₂) = 0.46 moles H₂O.
Calculate the molar mass of H₂O. The molar mass of H₂O is the sum of the atomic masses of hydrogen and oxygen: 2 × 1.01 g/mol (for H) + 16.00 g/mol (for O) = 18.02 g/mol.
Use the number of moles of H₂O and its molar mass to find the mass of water produced: 0.46 moles H₂O × 18.02 g/mol = mass of H₂O in grams.
Verify the calculation by ensuring that the units cancel appropriately and the final mass is consistent with the stoichiometry of the reaction.
