Answer :

2H2 + O2 ---------> 2H2O
4g +32g--------->36g
so, if 3g +29g---------> ?
Now, we have to find the limiting reagent.
4g hydrogen gives 32g oxygen
3g hydrogen gives xg oxygen
therefore, x = (3*32)/4
= 24g oxygen
hence, Hydrogen is the Limiting Reagent.
so now,
4g Hydrogen gives 36g Water
3g Hydrogen gives xg water
therefore, x = (3*36)/4
= 27g Water
Therefore, the maximum amount of water that can be formed when 3h of hydrogen reacts with 29g of oxygen is 27g Water.
