Answer

2H2+O22H2O2 vol.:1 vol.2 vol.\begin{matrix} 2\text{H}2 & + & \text{O}2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2\text{ vol.} \end{matrix}

2 Vol. of hydrogen reacts with 1 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 200 cm3 of hydrogen reacts with = 12\dfrac{1}{2} x 200 = 100 cm3 of oxygen.

Hence, unreacted oxygen is 150 - 100 = 50cm3
