30cm^3 of hydrogen at s.t.p combines with 20cm^3 of oxygen to form steam according to the following equation, 2H_2 (g) + O_2 (g) → 2H_2 O (g). Calculate the total volume of gaseous mixture at the end of the reaction.

1 cm^3 of O_2 requires 2 cm^3 of H_2 . ∴ 20 cm^3 of O_2 requires 40 cm^3 of H_2 . But available H_2 is only 30 cm^3 . Hence it is the limiting reagent. Now 2 cm^3 of H_2 produces 2 cm^3 of H_2 O. ∴ 30 cm^3 of H_2 produces 30 cm^3 of H_2 O. Volume of O_2 left unreacted = 5 cm^3 Hence final volume after the reaction of is 35 cm^3 .
$$\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{requires}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{2}} . \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{20}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{requires}\:\mathrm{40}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{2}} . \\ $$$$\mathrm{But}\:\mathrm{available}\:\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{30}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} .\:\mathrm{Hence} \\ $$$$\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{limiting}\:\mathrm{reagent}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{Now}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{produces}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{O}. \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{30}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{produces}\:\mathrm{30}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{O}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{Volume}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{left}\:\mathrm{unreacted}\:=\:\mathrm{5}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Hence}\:\mathrm{final}\:\mathrm{volume}\:\mathrm{after}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{reaction} \\ $$$$\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{35}\:\mathrm{cm}^{\mathrm{3}} . \\ $$
