Below is the solution:
n equation showing conservation of mass of reactants and products:
<span>2H2O --> 2H2 & O2 </span>
<span>what is the mass of the oxygen gas produced, from 178.8 g H2O , (using molar masses: </span>
<span>178.8 g H2O @ (1mol O2)(@ 32.00 g/mol) / (2molH2O)(18.02g/mol) = </span>
<span>your answer (4 sigfigs): 158.8 g O2 </span>
<span>178.8 g H2O ---> 20.0 H2 & 158.8 O2</span>
The statement is true.
As weird as it may sound, helium was indeed first discovered on the Sun, and after some time on Earth. The first evidence of helium was observed on August 18 1868, as a bright yellow line with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometers in the spectrum of the Sun's chromosphere. This line has been detected by a French astronomer by the name of Jules Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Gantur, India.
