Through the complete electrolysis of a sample of pure water, a student collects 14.0 grams of hydrogen gas and 112.0 grams of ox

ygen gas. What mass of water (in grams), if it reacted completely, was initially present? (The electrolysis of water is the use of an electric current to decompose it into its component elements.) Report your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer:

126.0g of water were initially present

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water occurs as follows:

2H₂O(l) ⇄ 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)

<em>Where 2 moles of water produce 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen.</em>

<em />

To find the mass of water we need to determine moles of oxygen and hydrogen, thus:

<em>Moles Hydrogen:</em>

14.0g H₂ ₓ (1mol / 2g H₂) = 7 moles H₂

<em>Moles Oxygen:</em>

112.0g O₂ ₓ (1mol / 32g) = 3.5 moles O₂

Based on the chemical equation, the moles of water initially present were 7 moles (That produce 7 moles H₂ and 3.5 moles O₂). The mass of 7 moles of H₂O is:

7 moles H₂O * (18g / mol) =

<h3>126.0g of water were initially present</h3>

Prove that PV = nRT.​
qaws [65]

Find your answer in the explanation below.

Explanation:

PV = nRT is called the ideal gas equation and its a combination of 3 laws; Charles' law, Boyle's law and Avogadro's law.

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. i.e V = 1/P

From, Charles' law, we have that volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas at constant pressure. i.e V = T

Avogadro's law finally states that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. i.e V = n

Combining the 3 Laws together i.e equating volume in all 3 laws, we have

V = nT/P,

V = constant nT/P

(constant = general gas constant = R)

V = RnT/P

by bringing P to the LHS, we have,

PV = nRT.
