Describe an experiment to show that water contains hydrogen and oxygen only​

5 0

Answer:

Electrolysis

Explanation:

The electrolysis of water is one such experiment that shows that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms only in the ratio of 2 to 1.

In the electrolysis of water, electricity is passed through acidified water to cause it to decompose.

The electrolysis of water is also known as the electrolysis of dilute tetraoxosulphate  (VI) acid.

At the cathode, H⁺ ions are discharged and hydrogen gas is liberated:

               2H⁺       +     2e⁻     →        H₂

At the anode, both the sulfate ion and hydroxyl ions migrate to this electrode. Only the OH⁻ is selected for preferential discharge due to its lower position in that activity series.

         4OH⁻  →   2H₂O    +    O₂     +     4e⁻

Oxygen gas is produced at the anode.

This electrolysis demonstrates the volumetric composition of water that is, 2 volumes of hydrogen at the cathode and 1 volume of oxygen at the anode.

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. This balanced equation shows the reaction
Ratling [72]

Answer:

514.5 g.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
  • It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.
  • Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄  is the limiting reactant.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:

n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.

∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.

  • Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:

∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ =  no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.

You weigh a 24K gold chain and find that it weighs 400 grams. Determine home many moles of gold atoms you have
makkiz [27]

Answer:

                     2.03 moles of Gold

Explanation:

                     Gold is one of the most precious metal metal used in many applications and mainly as a jewellery. In terms of purity it is categorized in Karats. 24 Karat is considered the purest Gold (i.e. 100 % Gold) while other Karats (14, 18, 22 e.t.c) are alloys with other metals and gyms.

Data Given:

                 Mass of Gold  =  400 g

                 A.Mass of Gold  =  196.97 g.mol⁻¹

Calculate Moles of Gold as,

                              Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                              Moles  =  400 g ÷ 196.97 g.mol⁻¹

                              Moles  =  2.03 moles of Gold
