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!

What would be the effect on the nucleus of an atom if it emitted one alpha particle and one gamma ray
Oksana_A [137]
Unstable, radioactive atom emits alpha and gamma ray to transform into a stable atom.

Emitting an alpha particle, decreases the mass number by four and atomic number by two.
Emitting gamma ray reduces the excess energy of the radioactive atom.
