So let`s say that we have a chemical reaction with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, but
we`ve got very little hydrogen, and very much oxygen. As we pour these two liquids together they react with on another and create water. However since there was a very much bigger amount of oxygen than hydrogen, there are still a lot of oxygen atoms left that have not reacted with the hydrogen, because there are no more free hydrogen atoms to react with.
Since pure oxygen is toxic, how do scientists avoid that some atoms do not react, also how do they calculate the amount needed for absolutely all atoms to react. What happens to the atoms that cannot react nor bond with anything, and let`s say they are toxic and we were i.e. making water.
Thanks
