The chemical reaction is expressed as:
2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
To determine the amount of oxygen used in the reaction, we use the amount of water produced and the relation of the substances in the reaction we do as follows:
209 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O ) ( 32 g / 1 mol ) = 185.57 g O2
