When \(30 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{H}_2\) reacts with \(20 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_2\) to form water, what is leftover when the reaction ends?

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{mLH}_2\)
  2. B \(5 \mathrm{mLH}_2\)
  3. C \(10 \mathrm{mLO}_2\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{mLO}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5 \mathrm{mLO}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given Here, \(\mathrm{H}_2\) is the limiting reagent. So, \(30 \mathrm{~mL} \mathrm{H}_2\) consumes \(15 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_2\) as \(\mathrm{H}_2\) and \(\mathrm{O}_2\) react in \(2: 1\) volume ratio (at constant pressure and temperature).
