SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the number of moles of H2 from 6 moles of H2O using stoichiometry. The balanced chemical equation 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O indicates that each mole of H2O contains 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. Therefore, 6 moles of H2O contain 12 moles of hydrogen atoms, which corresponds to 6 moles of H2. This conclusion is derived from the understanding of diatomic hydrogen and the relationship between moles of H2O and H2.
