This reaction is called the electrolysis of water. The balanced reaction is:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
We are given the amount of O2 produced from the electrolysis reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculation.
50.00 grams O2 ( 1 mol O2 / 32 grams O2) ( 2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) ( 18.01 g H2O / 1 mol H2O ) = 56.28 g H2O
The bond between the 2 Cl atoms in a Cl₂ molecule is a covalent bond.
to break this covalent bond, energy is required.
when new bonds form, energy is released as the bond formation makes the molecule stable. molecules with low energy levels are usually stable.
To break the covalent bond, energy is required in other words energy is absorbed.
therefore to break the covalent bond in Cl₂ molecule
1)energy is absorbed
Remember that density refers to the "mass per unit volume" of an object.
So, if an object had a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 100 milliliters, the density would be 100 grams / 100 ml.
In the question, water on the surface of the scale would add weight, so the mass of the object that you're weighing would appear to be heavier than it really is. If that happens, you'll incorrectly assume that the density is GREATER than it really is
As an example, suppose that there was 5 ml of water on the surface of the scale. Water has a density of 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/ml) so the water would add 5 grams to the object's weight. If we use the example above, the mass of the object would seem to be 105 grams, rather than 100 grams. So, you would calculate:
density = mass / volume
density = 105 grams / 100 ml
density = 1.05 g/ml
The effect on density would be that it would erroneously appear to be greater
Hope this helps!
Good luck
There will be a shift towards the reactants
