A cathode is the location in an electrolytic cell where reduction reactions take place.
An anode is the location in an electrolytic cell where oxidation reactions occur.
An electrolyte solution is any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive.
<span>An external electrical energy source like a battery or a transformer is used to drive the non-spontaneous reaction.</span>
Answer: 2.8 moles
Explanation:
The balanced equation below shows that 1 mole of sodium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to form 2 moles of sodium hydroxide respectively.
Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH
1 mole of H2O = 2 moles of NaOH
Let Z moles of H2O = 5.6 mole of NaOH
To get the value of Z, cross multiply
5.6 moles x 1 mole= Z x 2 moles
5.6 = 2Z
Divide both sides by 2
5.6/2 = 2Z/2
2.8 = Z
Thus, 2.8moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH
