Answer:

16.67 grams  of  H₂ is generated from the electrolysis of 150 grams of H₂O

Explanation:

Electrolysis is the decomposition of a chemical element under the effect of an electric current. So, electrolysis of water is the process of decomposing the H₂O molecule into separate oxygen and hydrogen gases due to an electric current passing through the water.

The balanced equation of electrolysis of water is:

2 H₂O → O₂ + 2H₂

Being:

  • H: 1 g/mole
  • O: 16 g/mole

then the molar mass of the compounds that participate in the reaction is:

  • H₂O: 2*1 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 18 g/mole
  • H₂: 2*1 g/mole= 2 g/mole
  • O₂: 2*16 g/mole= 32 g/mole

If the following amounts in moles are reacted by stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction):

  • H₂O: 2 moles
  • H₂: 2 moles
  • O₂: 1 mole

the amount of mass, by stoichiometry, that reacts and is produced is:

  • H₂O: 2 moles*18 g/mole=36 g
  • H₂: 2 moles* 2 g/mole= 4 g
  • O₂: 1 mole* 32 g/mole= 32  g

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 36 g of H₂O generate 4 g of H₂, 150 g of H₂O how much mass of H₂ will it generate?

massofH_{2} =\frac{150 grams of H_{2}O*4 grams ofH_{2}  }{36 grams of H_{2}O}

mass of H₂= 16.67 grams

<u><em>16.67 grams  of  H₂ is generated from the electrolysis of 150 grams of H₂O</em></u>

The number of I atoms in the reactants is greater than the number in the product : True or False
Sphinxa [80]

Explanation:

We can summarize the reaction shown as:

                2F₂  +   I₂  →   2F₃I

Since I is purple

         F is the green

The number of I atoms in the reactants is greater than the number in the product

False:

The number of I atoms on both side of the expression is 2

There are 4 atoms of F in both the reactants and the products.

False:

There are 4 atoms of F on the reactant side and 6 atoms of F on the product side

The illustration represents a valid chemical transformation. True or false

False

The reaction does not represent a valid chemical transformation because in a valid chemical transformation, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same.

ankoles [38]
I would say A and C. The circulatory system moves blood and nutrients similar to the plant moving water and nutrients. The endocrine system is responsible for hormones, glands and other such functions.
