Question

A mixture of 6.00 g hydrogen (H₂. molecular weight 2.016 g/mol) and 35.0 g oxygen (O₂, molecular weight 31.998 g/mol) is prepared in an explosion-proof container, and allowed to react forming liquid water (H₂O, 18.016 g/mol).

2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ---> 2 H₂O(l)

This explosive reaction is known to have a nearly 100% yield, so it proceeds until all limiting reagent is used up. Please select the correct amount at the end of the reaction.
