Answer:

One mole of SnO2

Explanation:

SnO2(s) + 2H2(g) ------> Sn(s) + 2H2O(l)

In every question that has to do with stoichiometry, the balanced reaction equation is the first step towards obtaining the correct answer because it serves as a guide in solving the question.

From the balanced reaction equation, we have

1 mole of SnO2 reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen gas to yield two moles of water.

The balanced reaction equation represents one mole of SnO2.

Hence the answer.
