The answer is very correct.

Solution

2H2 + O2 ===». 2H2O

2. : 1. :2

If. 20cm3 of oxygen was given,then it would require 40cm3 of hydrogen to form 40cm3 of water.

Volume of unused hydrogen=60-40=20cm3

Residual volume=volume produced +volume left

=40cm3+20cm3

=60cm3 of residual gas

Since, 20cm3 of oxygen was given
Then 40cm3 of hydrogen will be required to give 40cm3 of water
Therefore leaving 20cm3 of hydrogen as excess
Residual=40+20=60cm3

2H2 +O2 ===>>2H2O
2 : 1 : 2
60cm3 :20cm3 : -----(at the beginning of the reaction)
40cm3 : 20cm3 : 40cm3
subtracting the equation
20cm3 : 0cm3 : 40cm3
The residual gases = 60cm3

pls why did we use the volume of oxygen to calculate, why not volume of hydrogen

vol of residual gas=vol of excess gas +vol of gas produced

I believe the answer is wrong. I think it is 20cm^3

addition of residual 20cm*3 frm d hydrogen gas nd residual 20cm*3 frm water gives 40cm*3

the sunset ought to be B because reaction would be between one mole of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen that is 30cm³ of H reacting with 20cm³ of oxygen. the gas left will be 30-20=10cm³

d ansa shuld be 40- 2H20 +02 -2H20....2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen yieldin 2moles of water.....sinz onli 20cm*3 is used in in oxygen....and it iz 1 mole.....d volume used in hydrogen wil be 2(20) sinz it is 2 moles makin 40cm....d residual gas hre is 20.....on d oda syd dre are 2 moles of water 2(20)makin 40....20cm is also left addition of dz gives 40cm*3
