There are no lone pair of electrons shown around the hydrogen atoms, rather there are 2 lone election pairs present around the central atom in this Lewis structure and that is Oxygen. Hydrogen only has bonding electrons, and it requires 2 electrons per hydrogen to achieve stability and have a full valence electron shell.
Oxygen can be obtained from water using electrolysis process as follows:
2 H2O .............> 2H2 + O2
It is given that:
molar mass of water = 10.01 grams and molar mass of O2 = 32 grams
From the balanced chemical equation, we can conclude that:
2 moles of water produce 1 mole of oxygen
2 x 18.01 = 36.02 grams of water produce 32 grams of oxygen.
To calculate how many grams of water must react to produce 50 grams of oxygen, we can use cross multiplication as follows:
mass of required water = 56.28125 grams
