Identify the chemical equation given: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
Understand the structure of a chemical equation: Reactants are on the left side of the arrow, and products are on the right side.
In this equation, the reactants are 2H₂ and O₂, which are the substances that undergo the chemical change.
The product is the substance formed as a result of the reaction, which is on the right side of the arrow. Here, it is 2H₂O.
Therefore, the product of the reaction is water (H₂O), as indicated by the chemical equation.
