The lysis reaction with the formation of two different gases, and the synthesis reaction with the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen support that water is a compound and not an element.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

The electrolysis is the analytical process for the separation or the deposition of the element in the presence of the electric field.

The passing of electric current through water results in the release of two types of gases. Thus, it can be said that water lysis or breakdown forms the release of two elements hydrogen and oxygen supporting the fact that water is a compound and not an element.

The production of water is found to be formed with the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen. Thus it supports that water is a compound and, not an element.

Nezavi [6.7K]
Percent error can be calculated by the difference of the theoretical value and the measured value divided by the theoretical value multiplied by 100 percent. 

% error = 27.26 - 27.2 / 27.26 x100
% error = 0.22%

A value close to zero would mean that the measured value is more or less near the actual value.

Ksenya-84 [330]
V1 = 445ml V2 = 499ml
T1 = 274 K T2 = ?

By Charles Law,
V1/T1 = V2/T2
445/274 = 499/T2
By solving we get,
T2 = 307.25 K
