    Synthesizing 36 g of H2O because the mass of the reactants add up to the mass of the product

    Answer is: Synthesizing 36 g of H2O plus leftover reactants by combining 4 g of H2 and 32 g of O2.

    m (H₂) + m (O₂) = m (H₂O).

    4 g + 32 g = 36 g.

    Conservation of mass: during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

    Balanced chemical reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

    m (H₂) = 4 g; mass of hydrogen.

    n (H₂) = 4 g : 2 g/mol.

    n (H₂) = 2 mol; amount of hydrogen.

    m (O₂) = 32 g.

    n (O₂) = 32 g : 32 g/mol.

    n (O₂) = 1 mol; amount of oxygen.

    n (H₂) : n (O₂) = 2 mol : 1 mol according to balanced chemical reaction.
