<span>The answer is electrolysis. This is the chemical reaction that decomposes a substance (usually while in its liquid state) to its components by passing an electric current through it. Electrolysis of water is used to produce hydrogen fuel and also produce oxygen that can be used to supplement breathable air such as in submarines. </span>

Decomposition is the  example  of a  reaction  in  which  hydrogen and oxygen  are  produced  by  running   an  electric current  through  water.

 Decomposition  of   water through  electrolysis  of  water  into   oxygen  and hydrogen   gas  due  an electric  current  passed  through   water.   when an  electric  current  is passed through  water, oxygen   gas is being  produced  at  the anode  and  hydrogen  gas  is produced  at the  cathode.

The flame in a torch used to cut metal is produced by burning acetylene (C2H2) in pure oxygen. Assuming the combustion of 1 mole
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

19.8 kg of C₂H₂ is needed

Explanation:

We solve this by a rule of three:

If 1251 kJ of heat are relased in the combustion of 1 mol of acetylene

95.5×10⁴ kJ of heat may be released by the combustion of

(95.5×10⁴ kJ . 1) /1251kJ = 763.4 moles of C₂H₂

Let's convert the moles to mass → 763.4 mol . 26 g/1 mol = 19848 g

If we convert the mass from g to kg →  19848 g . 1kg / 1000g = 19.8 kg

Calculate the grams of sodium hydroxide formed when 2.24 moles of sodium oxide react with water
Romashka [77]
The balanced reaction is 
Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH

If 2.24 moles of sodium oxide react, that means 4.48 moles of NaOH is formed as it is a 1 to 2 stoichiometric relationship.

Now we multiply by the molar mass to get grams.

4.48 moles NaOH * (39.997 grams/1 mole) = 179.2 grams

Your answer is 179. grams.
