Accepted Answer
| Question: | 2 Hydrogen (H) + 1 Oxygen (O) |
| Solution: | Water (H₂O) |
| Chemical Equation: | 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O |
| Explanation: | Two molecules of diatomic hydrogen (H₂) react with one molecule of diatomic oxygen (O₂) to produce two molecules of water (H₂O). This is a highly exothermic reaction, meaning it releases a significant amount of energy 🔥. Experimentally, you could observe this by mixing hydrogen and oxygen gases in a controlled environment (with appropriate safety precautions!) and igniting the mixture. The resulting reaction produces a significant amount of heat and forms water vapor 💧 which can be condensed to liquid water. The reaction is often used in fuel cells 🔋for electricity generation. |
