Answer:

So the answer would be 10 moles

Explanation:

1) Start with the molecular formula for water: $H_{2} O!$

2) If there are 10 moles of water use a mole ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen it would produce.

(This question is... interesting... since they chose an element that is diatomic in free state so It could TECHNICALLY be two answers, moles of O or moles of $O_{2}$ )

The mole ratio is 1 moles of $H_{2}O$ to 1 moles of O. This is because the coefficient for oxygen in water is simple 1, so the ratio is 1:1.

3) that means if 10 moles of water decompose, they decompose into 10 moles of $H_{2}$ and 10 moles of O.

Extra:

About what I was saying before about the question being slightly interesting:

10 moles of pure oxygen is produced but free state oxygen exists as $O_{2}$ so it could possibly be 10 OR 5! However, notice it says elements. This leads me to believe the answer is 10 (monatomic oxygen) instead of 5 (free state/diatomic oxygen).

I hope this helps!

They speed up when they get hotter and they slow down when they get colder. I think

<h3>What is common name of NaOH?</h3>

The common name of NaOH is sodium hydroxide. Lye and caustic soda are other names for sodium hydroxide, an inorganic substance having the formula NaOH. It is a white, solid ionic substance made up of the cations sodium (Na+) and the anions hydroxide (OH). Sodium hydroxide is a chemical that manufacturers utilize to make things like soap, rayon, paper, explosives, colors, and petroleum products. Processing cotton fabrics, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extraction are further uses for sodium hydroxide. A caustic metallic base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sometimes referred to as lye or caustic soda. Caustic soda, an alkali, is commonly employed in a variety of sectors, primarily as a potent chemical base in the production of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, and detergents.
