Stage 1
Answer 6 questions correctly in a row.
Rocket engines can be fueled by liquid hydrogen. The liquid hydrogen reacts with liquid oxygen, producing water vapor and releasing an enormous amount of energy.
Consider the following reaction:
2 molecules of hydrogen
()
react with 1 molecule of oxygen H
2
()
to produce some amount of water O
2
().
H
2
O
To find the amount of water produced, first determine the number of each type of atom in the products.
Hint: During a chemical reaction, atoms are not created, destroyed, or changed from one chemical element to another.
| Chemical element | Number of atoms in reactants | Number of atoms in products |
| H | 4 | |
| O | 2 |
