Question

Hydrogen and oxygen combine in the ratio of 1:8 by mass to form water. What mass of oxygen gas would be required to react completely with 3 g of hydrogen gas?

Answer

The ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen by mass is 1 : 8.
This means that 1 g of Hydrogen gas requires 8 g of Oxygen gas to react completely.

Therefore, mass of Oxygen gas required for 3 g of Hydrogen gas:
= 3 × 8 g
= 24 g
