The yield will be 2 mol of H2O.

Explanation:

First we need to write a balanced chemical equation:

2H2+O2=2H2O

In this case, the O2 will be the limiting reagent: we need 2 mol of H2 for each mole of O2, but we have 4. There will be some H2 left over unreacted.

We know from the balanced equation that 1 mol of O2 will yield 2 mol of H2O, and since we have 1 mol of O2 the yield will be 2 mol of H2O.
