0.61 moles of O2 and 1.22 moles of H2O

Explanation:

After balancing the equation we discover that
O2 + 2H2 2H2O
in other words 1 mole of O2 reacts with 2 moles of H2 to produce 2 moles of H2O. The ratio of oxygen to hydrogen molecules in the reaction is a 1 : 2 ratio. So we must divide the moles of H2 in half to determine the moles of O2. The ratio of H2 to H2O is 2 : 2. This reduces to a 1 : 1 ratio, therefore the moles of H2 is equal to the moles of H2O produced.
