Solution in Detail
balanced chemical equation with Gay Lussac's law of Gaseous Volumes:
$\displaystyle \underset{2\text{ vols}}{2\text{H}_2 \text{ (g)}} + \underset{1 \text{ vol}}{\text{O}_2\text{ (g)}} \rightarrow \underset{2\text{ vols}}{2\text{H}_2\text{O (g)}}$
Assumption: same pressures and temperatures of O2, H2 and H2O
Volumes of H2 = 10 vols given
So adjust the equation by using 5 as the mulitplier
10 vols H2 + 5 vols O2 → 10 vol H20
vol of O2 given 5 vols, so there is no limiting reagant.
So volume of vapor = 10 vols Answer!
