Shana solves stoichiometry problems using the equation for the synthesis of water. which interpretation of the balanced equation would cause shana to make a mistake? two moles of hydrogen react with one mole of oxygen to form two moles of water. two grams of hydrogen react with one gram of oxygen to form two grams of water. two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen to form two molecules of water. two liters of hydrogen react with one liter of oxygen to form two liters of water.

Two grams of hydrogen react with one gram of oxygen to form two grams of water.

Answer : The wrong statement is, Two grams of hydrogen react with one gram of oxygen to form two grams of water.

Explanation :

Synthesis reaction : It is a type of reaction in which the reactants present in elemental state that reacts to give a single product.

It is represented as,

where, X and Y are the reactants and XY is the product.

The balanced synthesis reaction of water will be,

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water as a single product.

Or we can say that,

2 molecules of hydrogen react with 1 molecule of oxygen to form 2 molecules of water.

Or,

2 liters of hydrogen react with 1 liter of oxygen to form 2 liters of water.

These three statements are correct.

But the statement, 2 grams of hydrogen react with 1 gram of oxygen to form 2 grams of water are incorrect statement.

Hence, the wrong statement is, Two grams of hydrogen react with one gram of oxygen to form two grams of water.
