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

Chemistry

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.

The boiling point of water is 100.00 °C at 1 atmosphere.
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The solution's boiling point is 100,2°C and its molality is 0,13 m

Explanation:

This is the colligative propertie about elevation of boiling point

ΔT = Kb . m . i where

ΔT is the difference between T° at boiling point of the solution - T° at boiling point of the solvent pure

Kb means ebulloscopic constant (<u><em>0,52 °C.kg/m .- a known value for water</em></u>)

m means molality (moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

i means theVan 't Hoff factor ( degree of dissociation for a compound)

IT HAS NO UNITS

NiI2 ---> Ni2+  +  2I-  (we have 1 Ni2+ and 2 I-), the i for this, is 3

The 11,11 g of the salt are in 272,2g of water but I need to know how many mass of the salt is in 1000 g of water (1000 g is 1 kg) so the rule of three is:

272,2g ____ 11,11g

1000g _____ (1000 g . 11,11g) / 272,2g = 40,81g

As the molar mas of NiI2 is 312.5 g/mol, the moles of salt are, mass/molar mass, 40,81g /312.5 g/mol = 0,130 moles

T° of b p sl - 100°C = 0,52 °C.kg/m . 0,130 m/kg . 3

T° of boiling point solution = (0,52 °C.kg/m . 0,130 m/kg . 3) + 100°C

T° of boiling point solution = 100,2°C

Three beakers contain clear, colorless liquids. One beaker contains pure water, another contains salt water, and another contain
gladu [14]
Pure water may be identified by its density: it will have the lowwest density of the three solutions, given that the solutes (salt and sugar) increase the density (this is the easiests and quickest way).

You can also measure the freezing points or boling points to identify the pure water because the solutes depress the freezing points and increase the boling points.

To differentiate sugar water and salt water, you can probe which one conducts electricity, because salt water is a conductor (given that it ionizes into Na+ and Cl-) but sugar water is not a conductor.
