Answer:
A. 0.225 mole of H₂
B. 0.113 mole of O₂.
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 4.05 g of water (H₂O). This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of H₂O = 4.05 g
Molar mass of H₂O = (2×1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol
Mole of H₂O =?
Mole = mass /Molar mass
Mole of H₂O = 4.05 / 18
Mole of H₂O = 0.225 mole
Next, the balanced equation.
2H₂O —> 2H₂ + O₂
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of H₂O produced 2 moles of H₂ and 1 mole of O₂.
A. Determination of the number of mole hydrogen produced.
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of H₂O produced 2 moles of H₂.
Therefore, 0.225 mole of H₂O will also produce 0.225 mole of H₂.
B. Determination of the number of mole oxygen produced.
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of H₂O produced 1 mole of O₂.
Therefore, 0.225 mole of H₂O will produce = (0.225 × 1)/2 = 0.113 mole of O₂.
Thus, 0.113 mole of O₂ is produced.
