How does oxygen react with hydrogen?

Answer 1

Well, first off we should write a stoichiometric equation.........

#H_2(g) + 1/2O_2(g) rarr H_2O(l)#

In the absence of any additional information, we would presume standard pressure and temperature settings, which would lead us to believe that the water product is a liquid.

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2H2O(l). This equation shows that two molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) react with one molecule of oxygen gas (O2) to produce two molecules of water (H2O) in liquid form. This reaction releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and light. The chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen is known as combustion or oxidation.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
