GIVING BRAINLISTED

The image represents the reaction between a certain number of molecules of H2 and O2.

Two squares are shown. Inside the left square two units of two joint circles if shown. The molecular formula of hydrogen gas is shown on top of this square. The square on the right has three units of two joint circles. The molecular formula for oxygen gas is shown on top of this square

If the maximum amount of H2O is formed during the reaction, what is the leftover reactant?

One molecule of H2
Two molecules of H2
One molecule of O2
Two molecules of O2

Answer 1

Answer: one molecule of O2.

Explanation: sweet i just took a guess but I believe that if 3 o2 molecules - 2 h2 molecules I think that its just basic maths and it is C because 3-2 = 1 and its o2 remaining, sorry if I’m wrong.

Answer 2

The statement for the leftover reactant is "two molecules of O2."

What is leftover reactant?

Excess reagents are reactants that are not consumed fully when a chemical reaction is complete. After a chemical reaction has reached equilibrium, the reactant(s) remain. The excess reagent is the reactant that is also referred as  "left over reactant" in a chemical reaction.

The chemical structure formed when two or more atoms chemically link is known as a molecule. When molecular hydrogen and oxygen are mixed to react with each other, energy is released in the process, resulting in the formation of a water molecule.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

That is, two molecules of diatomic hydrogen (H2) must be joined with one molecule of diatomic oxygen to form two molecules of water (H2O).

So, leftover reactant will be two molecules of O2, which remains as reaction gets completed.

Hence the correct answer is two molecules of O2.
