In the explosion of a hydrogen-filled balloon, 0.10 g of hydrogen reacted with 0.80 g of oxygen to form how many grams of water vapor? (Water vapor is the only product.) Express your answer using two significant figures.

Mass of water vapor produced : 0.90 g

Given

0.10 g of hydrogen reacted with 0.80 g of oxygen

Required

mass of water vapor produced

Solution

Reaction

2H₂ + O ⇒ 2H₂O

If we refer to the law of conservation of mass which states that the mass before and after the reaction is the same, then the mass of water vapor formed as a product is:

mass reactants = mass products

mass of Hydrogen + mass of Oxygen = mass of water vapor

0.1 g + 0.8 g = 0.90 g

Or we can also solve by using stochiometry (using the concept of moles) to find the mass of water vapor

why is cellular respiration important for homeostasis?

it changes food into energy that the organism can use.
