In a synthesis reaction you start with 1.7L of Hydrogen how many liters of water will be produced?

1.7L of water

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of hydrogen gas = 1.7L

Unknown:

Volume of water produced = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we can simply apply Gay - Lussac's law of combining volume.

The law states that "when gases reacts, they do so in volumes which bear a simple ratio to one another and to the volume of the product, if gaseous provided temperature and pressure remains constant".

A synthesis reaction is a combination reaction;

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

From the balanced reaction equation;

2 volumes of H₂ is required to produce 2 volumes of H₂O

1.7L of H₂ will produce 1.7L of H₂O
