    Answer:

    Hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent.

    The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.

    4.3 moles of water can be produced.

    Explanation:

    The balanced reation is:

    2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

    By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

    • H₂: 2 moles
    • O₂: 1 mole
    • H₂O: 2 moles

    To determine the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of H₂, how much moles of H₂ will be needed if 5.6 moles of O₂ react?

    moles of H_{2} =\frac{5.6 moles of O_{2} *2 mole of H_{2} }{1 mole of O_{2}}

    moles of H₂= 11.2 moles

    But 11.2 moles of H₂ are not available, 4.3 moles are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 5.6 moles of O₂, hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent and oxygen O₂ will be the excess reagent.

    Then you can apply the following rules of three:

    • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂, 4.3 moles of H₂ will react with how many moles of O₂?

    moles of O_{2} =\frac{1 mole of O_{2} *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of O_{2}}

    moles of O₂= 2.15 moles

    The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction can be calculated as:

    5.6 moles – 2.15 moles= 3.45 moles

    The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.

    • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, 4.3 moles of H₂ produce how many moles of H₂O?

    moles of H_{2}O =\frac{2 moles of H_{2}O *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of H_{2}}

    moles of H₂O= 4.3 moles

    4.3 moles of water can be produced.
