    48 g of oxygen is needed to produced 54 g of water.

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    Mass of O₂ = ?

    Mass of H₂O = 54 g

    Chemical equation:

    O₂ + 2H₂ → 2 H₂O

    Number of moles of H₂O:

    Number of moles of H₂O = Mass / molar mass

    Number of moles of H₂O = 54 g / 18/mol

    Number of moles of H₂O = 3 mol

    Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen.

    H₂O : O₂

    2 : 1

    3 : 1/2 * 3 = 1.5

    The 3 moles of H₂O produced by 1.5 moles of oxygen.

    Mass of O₂:

    Mass of O₂ : = number of moles * molar mass

    Mass of O₂ : = 1.5 mol * 32 g/mol

    Mass of O₂ : = 48 g
