A student decides to do a more controlled version of the hydrogen balloon explosion. The unbalanced chemical equation for this reaction is shown below:

H2(g)+O2(g)H2O(g)H_2(g)+O_2(g)→H_2O(g)

(a) Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

(b) The student sets up an experiment with 1.00 mol of H2 (g) and 0.750 mol of O2 (g) in a closed container. Assuming the reaction goes to completion, what is the mole fraction of H2O in the container at the end of the reaction?

(c) If this reaction was completed in a 45.0 L container at a constant temperature of 25.0°C, calculate the total pressure (in atm) in the container at the end of part (b):

(d) Without doing a calculation, predict whether the (mass) density of the sample in the container is higher, lower, or the same after the reaction. Explain your reasoning in one sentence.

(e) Without doing a calculation, predict whether the partial pressure of H2O (g) will be higher, lower, or the same when the student then adds 1.00 mol N2 (g) into the container. Explain your reasoning in one sentence.
