Now molecules: square molecules of H_(2)+ molecules of O2 square molecules of H_(2)O

To understand the relationship between molecules of \( H_2 \), \( O_2 \), and \( H_2O \), we need to consider the balanced chemical equation for the formation of water:<br /><br />\[ 2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O \]<br /><br />This equation tells us that:<br /><br />- 2 molecules of \( H_2 \) react with 1 molecule of \( O_2 \) to produce 2 molecules of \( H_2O \).<br /><br />Therefore, if you have a certain number of molecules of \( H_2 \) and \( O_2 \), you can determine how many molecules of \( H_2O \) will be produced based on this stoichiometric ratio.<br /><br />For example:<br />- If you start with 4 molecules of \( H_2 \) and 2 molecules of \( O_2 \), you will produce 4 molecules of \( H_2O \).<br />- If you start with 6 molecules of \( H_2 \) and 3 molecules of \( O_2 \), you will produce 6 molecules of \( H_2O \).<br /><br />The key is to maintain the ratio given by the balanced equation: 2:1:2 for \( H_2 \):\( O_2 \):\( H_2O \).
