  1. The law of conservation of mass solves this problem.

    If you start off with 40 grams you have to end up with 40 grams in a chemical reaction.

    If you produce 14 grams of N2 and 8 grams of O2, then add them together to get 22 grams.  Subtract the 22 from 40 grams and that gives you 18 grams left which is the water.

    Easy.
