Strategy:
 This is a limiting reagent problem. We first balance the equation, calculate the moles of both reactants, and identify which one is exhausted first. The amount of product (water) is strictly determined by the limiting reagent.

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

Step 2: Calculate moles and find limiting reagent
- Moles 
- Moles 
Ratio required: . We have .
Since we lack enough ,  is the limiting reagent.

Step 3: Calculate product
5 moles  moles .
