5. given the reaction:
2 h2 + o2 + 2 h2o
the total number of grams of o2 needed to produce
54 grams of water is
48

48 g of oxygen is needed to produced 54 g of water.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of O₂ = ?

Mass of H₂O = 54 g

Chemical equation:

O₂  + 2H₂  → 2 H₂O

Number of moles of H₂O:

Number of moles of  H₂O= Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of H₂O= 54 g / 18/mol

Number of moles of  H₂O= 3 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with  oxygen .

                 H₂O             :            O₂

                  2                 :             1

                  3                  :            1/2 × 3 =1.5

The 3 moles of H₂O produced by 1.5 moles of oxygen.

Mass of O₂  :

Mass of O₂  :  = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of O₂  : = 1.5 mol ×32 g/mol

Mass of O₂  :  = 48 g

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

the answer is 0.42 is that is an option. this question provides no info
