Detailed Solution

2H2​+O2​→2H2​O

10 g of hydrogen (molar mass 2 g/mol) = 10 g2 gmol ​= 5 mol 

 64 of oxygen  (molar mass 32 g/mol) = 64 g32 gmol ​= 2 mol 

As per the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of oxygen will react with 2 moles of hydrogen to form 2 moles of water.

2 moles of oxygen will react with 2 × 2 = 4 moles of hydrogen to form 4 moles of water.

Here, oxygen is the limiting reagent and hydrogen is the excess reagent.
