The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the chemical reaction between hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) to form water (H₂O). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: \[ 2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Balanced Reaction:** The balanced equation shows that 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water. 2. **Determine the Moles of Reactants:** According to the question: - Moles of H₂ = 4 moles - Moles of O₂ = 2 moles 3. **Calculate the Stoichiometric Ratio:** From the balanced equation, we see that: - 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂. - Therefore, 4 moles of H₂ would require \( \frac{4 \text{ moles H₂}}{2 \text{ moles H₂/mole O₂}} = 2 \text{ moles O₂} \). 4. **Identify the Limiting Reagent:** Since we have exactly 2 moles of O₂ available, which is exactly what is needed to react with 4 moles of H₂, we can conclude: - Both reactants will be completely consumed in the reaction. - However, since we are using all of the available O₂, it is the limiting reagent. 5. **Calculate the Amount of Product Formed:** According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of H₂ and 1 mole of O₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O. Therefore, if we start with 4 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂: - The amount of water produced will be \( 2 \times 2 = 4 \text{ moles of H₂O} \). 6. **Conclusion:** The assertion states that when 4 moles of H₂ react with 2 moles of O₂, 4 moles of water is formed, which is true. The reason states that O₂ will act as the limiting reagent, which is also true because it is the reactant that will be completely consumed first. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, making the statement correct.
