Water decomposes when electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas. If 2.5 grams of water were decomposed 1.04 grams of oxygen will be formed.

A 0 0.065
Number of moles of water = 
mass = 2.5 grams
atomic mass= 18 grams
number of moles can be known by putting the values in the formula,
n = 
= 0.13 moles
2 moles of water gives one mole of oxygen on decomposition
so, 0.13 moles of water will give x moles of oxygen on decompsition
= 
x = 0.065 moles of oxygen will be formed.
moles to gram will be calculated as
mass =number of moles x atomic mass
= 0.065 x 16
= 1.04 grams of oxygen.
Answer:
1.387 moles
Explanation:
Step 1:
The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
4Fe + 3O2 —> 2Fe2O3
Step 2:
Determination of the number of mole of Fe in 155.321g of Fe. This can be achieved by doing the following:
Mass of Fe = 155.321g
Molar Mass of Fe = 56g/mol
Number of mole of Fe =?
Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass
Number of mole of Fe = 155.321/56
Number of mole of Fe = 2.774 mol
Step 3:
Determination of the number of mole of rust (Fe2O3) produced. This is illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
4 moles of Fe produced 2 moles of Fe2O3.
Therefore, 2.774 moles of Fe will produce = (2.774 x 2)/4 = 1.387 moles of Fe2O3.
Therefore, 1.387 moles of rust (Fe2O3) is produced from the reaction
Explanation:
"Compound: A substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together.
Mixture: A combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together; each part in the mixture retains its own properties."
