Answer» SOLUTION :Whenever gases REACT together, the volumes of the reacting gases and the products bear a simple whole number ratio, providedall the volumes are measured under similar conditions of temperature and pressure . Steps: a.HYDROGEN combines with oxygen to from water b. `H_(2) + 1//2 O_(2) rarr H_(2)O ""` (Skeletal equation) c.`2H_(2(g)) + O_(2(g)) rarr 2H_(2)O_((g)) ""` (balanced equation) (2 volumes) + (1 volume) `""`(2 volumes) `2:1:2` TWO volumes of hydrogen react with ONE volume of oxygen to from two volumes of water vapour that is the ratio by volume, which gases bears is 2 : 1 : 2 , which is a simple whole number ratio. |
